the paper roll is coming to an end. For this feature to
function reliably, the paper sensor must be set to suit
the type of paper roll in use.
NOTE
• The printer is preset for a paper roll diameter
(∅ paper roll) of 22 mm. You do not need to
perform the steps in this section for the
thermal paper available from seca.
• The paper sensor works only with thermal
paper. This function is not available for labels.
1. Ensure that the device is switched off.
2. Open the paper compartment cover.
3. Adjust the lever to the correct position as shown in
the table below.
NOTE
"∅
of paper roll" is derived from the internal
diameter of the roll and the thickness of the
residual paper. The residual paper can be
recognized by its pink colour.
4. Close the paper compartment cover.
