Printing paper info
The Printing paper info option is enabled by default; it allows the printer to estimate the remaining roll
length by reading a barcode that is printed on the leading edge of the roll whenever the paper is unloaded.
When you load a new, unused roll, there is no barcode already printed on it, so the front panel will ask you for
the length. The length printed on the barcode at unloading time is calculated from the length you declare at
the start, minus the length that has been printed.
NOTE: If you declare at loading time that the length of the roll is unknown, and then later reload the same
roll, the front panel will request the length again.
To disable the Printing paper info option, select the icon in the printer's front panel, and then select
Printing preferences > Paper options > Disable printing paper info. In this case, the length will not be
requested, and the barcode will be neither printed nor read.
Feed and cut the paper
If you press the Form feed and cut key on the front panel, the printer advances the paper and makes a
straight cut across the front edge. There are several possible reasons why you might want to do this.
●
To trim the leading edge of the paper if it is damaged or not straight.
●
To feed and cut the paper when the automatic cutter has been disabled.
●
To cancel the waiting time and print the available pages immediately, if the printer is waiting to nest
more pages.
NOTE: The printheads are serviced after each print, and the paper cannot be cut until the process
completes, so you may notice a delay.
CAUTION: Remove the cut piece from the output tray. If strips or short prints are left in the output tray, the
printer could jam.
Store the paper
The following are tips for storing paper:
●
Always keep unused rolls wrapped in the plastic wrap to prevent discoloration. Rewrap partially used
rolls if they are not being used.
●
Do not stack rolls.
●
Allow all paper types to adapt to room conditions out of the packaging for 24 hours before printing.
●
Handle film and glossy paper by the edges or wear cotton gloves. Skin oils can be transferred to the
paper, leaving fingerprint marks.
●
Keep the paper tightly wound on the roll throughout the loading and unloading procedures. If the roll
starts to unwind, it can become difficult to handle.
