Since the leading edge of the
paper curls strongly or ripples, the
leading edge of the paper rubs
against the printhead. Set Cutting Mode to Manual on the Control Panel menu, and select Do not
perform for the paper leading edge detection setting.
In this case, when keeping track of the amount of roll paper left, set
ManageRemainRoll to Off before loading the roll paper and then set
ManageRemainRoll to On after loading the roll paper.
