8.6.1 Automatic Media Feed (Enable)
When automatic media feed setting is enabled, the feed operation starts by inserting media to the media
guide, or by closing the cover with the media inserted. After the paper sensor detects the front edge of the
media, the printer feeds the media to the print position for continuous mode, tear-off mode or cutter mode.
Printer will be ready for printing after completing the automatic media feed.
Notes:
•
When inserting the media to the media guide, make sure that the length of the media is at least 130 mm
(5.1”) long for proper media detection.
•
If I-mark overlaps the paper sensor as shown below, the front edge of the media will not be detected. In
such case, disable the automatic media feed.
