Selecting the Paper Type (Roll)

When changing the type of paper after the paper has been advanced, specify the type of paper as follows.
Important
•
For best printing results, the printer ne-tunes the feed amount for each type of paper. Be sure to select
the type of paper to use correctly before printing.
•
Because the printer ne-tunes the feed amount for each type of paper, the margins and the size of
printed images may vary depending on the type of paper used. If margins and the size of images are not
as you expected, adjust the paper feed amount and Printhead height.

After you load a roll, the printer automatically shows a menu for selection of the paper type on the
Display Screen, unless a barcode has been printed on the roll. Select the type of paper, and then
press the OK button.
If no barcode has been printed on the roll and you have activated automatic detection of the remaining
roll paper, specify the roll length after the paper type. (→P.187)
