ADJUSTING THE PAPER NEAR END SENSOR
4-2.
A sensor detects when the paper roll is running out. Due to variation in the width of paper roll cores, it
is difficult to measure the exact length of the paper left on the roll when the detector is triggered. The
factory setting is based on a paper roll core with an outside diameter of 18 mm and an inside diameter
of 12 mm. If you use a paper roll with different widths, adjust the setting as described below.
Open the printer cover and remove the paper roll.

core of the paper roll.
Tighten the adjusting screw.
