E. Supplement
IMPORTANT!!
When using a Windows

program, with a Rena DA608 driver, or HP DeskJet 500 driver via JetMate,
please be sure the printer’s menu feature “Setting Locked:” is set to “no”. In addition, please be sure that
the printer’s menu feature “Paper Size:” is correctly set, for the length of the material you are using, and
“local locked”. See details below.
Use the following procedures to set the Paper Length (“Paper Size:”):
1) Place material in the hopper, and press the key. The printer will feed one piece
of material completely through the transport system, and briefly display the paper
length it has measured. This information is displayed in millimeters and inches. Do this
procedure a few times (5-6 times) making sure that the printer always measures
correctly. On your last attempt, press and hold the key, until the printer displays
“(L)”. When you release the key the printer will feed, measure and “local lock” the
paper size (paper length). “Local locking” keeps Windows

programs from changing
the setting.
Be sure the printer registers the paper length correctly. If the printer displays a length that is
more than + or – 4 mm, of the actual material length, check the following:
a) Make sure the paper is feeding correctly. If the material mis-feeds, the printer will
misread the material length.
b) Check for proper transport pressure. Too much pressure may cause the material
to jam and hesitate. Too little pressure may cause the material to slip and
hesitate.
c) Clean the transport rollers with Rena Care, roller cleaner.
d) Look for dark colors on the underside of the material. Dark colors can cause
faulty paper length readings. If you think this is the case, turn the printer’s Paper
Sensor feature OFF, and than follow procedure # 2.
2) Use the printer’s menu feature “Paper Size:” to manually set the paper length.
By choosing the USER setting, found within the printer’s “Paper Size:” function, you
can set the Paper Size for the exact length of the material you are using, in 1mm
increments.
