Changing the Type of Paper

Changing the Type of Paper
Follow these steps to change the type of paper specified on the printer after you have loaded paper.
If you will continue using this type of paper later, selecting Keep Paper Type > On will save the time and effort of con-
514
figuring the media type setting when you load the paper again. The current media type settings before you select On
will be automatically selected at that time. (See "Using the Same Type of Paper Regularly.")
• Do not omit steps 7 and 8. If paper cannot be advanced straight or if it wrinkles, it may jam or rub against the
Printhead.
Do not force the roll paper into alignment with the paper alignment line (b). This may prevent the paper from being
•
advanced straight.

in procedure 8. Thus, the margin of the paper leading edge will enlarge. (See "Specifying the Cutting Method for
