6-3. Setting Paper Information Using the Printer
6-3-1. Automatic layout detection
The printer shipped from the factory is configured to enable automatic
paper detection. Follow the procedure below to have the printer
automatically detect the paper layout information.
<<Procedure>>
(1) Turn off the printer power.
(2) Open the top cover.
(3) Turn on the printer power.
(4) Load the paper that you want to use into the printer.
Leave the top cover open.
(5) Press and hold down the FEED switch. The POWER and ERROR
lamps blink alternately. Continue to hold down the FEED switch
until the POWER and ERROR lamps blink at the same time. At
this time, release the FEED switch.
(For details on how to initialize the paper layout, see "How to
initialize the paper layout" in Section 7-1, "Control Panel.")
(6) Close the top cover.
(7) The printer feeds the paper, automatically obtains paper layout
information, and saves the information.
Note: Automatic layout detection involves a paper feed of several tens of
centimeters. This is normal operation.
Note: The printer’s automatic layout detection function cannot obtain the
paper width setting as part of paper information. For details on how to
set the paper width, see Example 7) in Section 10-2, "Setting Up the
Printer."
Note: If you need to specify information other than the paper width, follow
the procedure described in Section 6-1, "Paper Information Setting
Using the Driver," or 6-2, "Paper Information Setting Using the
Utility."
