Description
Indication
on LCD
1
Media right end detection
Detect the right end of the media (media sensor) after the carriage moves
to the media detection position.
2
Media left end detection
1. Detect the left end of the media (media sensor) after the carriage
moves.
2. Calculate the media width (linear encoder) after the distance between
the left end and right end is measured.
*Execute the linear encoder test when the carriage moves for media
width detection.
If a malfunction occurs, printing cannot be executed. (ERROR8)
[ERROR8 Detailed Information]
Direction: The
±
of the linear encoder counter is reversed
Count: Linear encoder count number error
Sensor: Count not possible
*If the media width cannot be detected, it is ERROR50.
(Cancelled by Lever UP)
Move the carriage back to the Y origin and turn the cap ON.
*Media detection executes automatic distance accuracy adjustment.

Media length input
If MEDIA RESIDUAL for the maintenance function is ON and the media
tail end is not detected, input the media length.
Set value: 1-500 m (unit: 1m)
The operation for detecting a media width will be discontinued, if the clamp lever is placed on the UP
position during the operation.
