How to Switch Paper Rolls
Here we will explain how the roll paper set in the upper and lower trays of the printer are switched. Refer to
this information when necessary, for example, when documents will not print as expected, etc.
If you select Roll Paper (Auto) under Paper Source in the Quality & Media , the roll paper that is best
suited for the print job will be automatically selected.
Whether paper roll 1 or paper roll 2 is selected, is determined through a sequence of judgment based on the
7 conditions in the table below.
At such times, the Printer settings -> Paper-related settings -> Detect paper setting mismatch in the
Printer unit's operation panel will switch to the result of the judgment based on the process described below.
• If the Detect paper setting mismatch setting is set on Pause or Hold job
• If the Detect paper setting mismatch setting is Display warning or Do not detect
Important
• If the lower roll unit is not loaded or if the roll unit that was set as the take-up unit is loaded, the roll
paper cannot be switched automatically.
Note
• If Error or On hold are displayed, replace the paper to match the requirements of the print job.
• In order to minimize paper waste, it is recommended that you configure the operation panel on the
Printer unit as indicated below.
