How to Switch Paper Rolls

Here we will explain how the roll paper set in the upper and lower trays of the printer are switched. Refer to
this information when necessary, for example, when documents will not print as expected, etc.

If you select

Roll Paper (Auto)

under

Paper Source

in the

Quality & Media

, the roll paper that is best

suited for the print job will be automatically selected.

Whether paper roll 1 or paper roll 2 is selected, is determined through a sequence of judgment based on the
7 conditions in the table below.

At such times, the

Printer settings

->

Paper-related settings

->

Detect paper setting mismatch

in the

Printer unit's operation panel will switch to the result of the judgment based on the process described below.

If the

Detect paper setting mismatch

setting is set on

Pause

or

Hold job

If the

Detect paper setting mismatch

setting is

Display warning

or

Do not detect

Important

• If the lower roll unit is not loaded or if the roll unit that was set as the take-up unit is loaded, the roll

paper cannot be switched automatically.

Note

• If Error or On hold are displayed, replace the paper to match the requirements of the print job.
• In order to minimize paper waste, it is recommended that you configure the operation panel on the

Printer unit as indicated below.
