(1) Cut Paper mode
This mode assumes that to print the thermal paper which be cut by a certain fixed length. The paper
should be printed the mark on back side to detect paper position when loading the paper automatically.
Refer to 2.2 SPECIFIED THERMAL PAPER SPECIFICATION for the paper dimensions.
(a) Auto loading operation
In this mode, the printer feeds the thermal paper to the set value by detecting the paper mark after
loading the thermal paper from the paper slot, and then becomes print-ready status.
When the mark for detection is not printed on the back side, the printer stops as an error status after
feeding the thermal paper up to paper length which is set. At this time, the printer is in the state waiting
for error release by pressing the FEED switch. When the FEED switch is pressed, the thermal paper is
fed one dot line and the printer goes print-ready status.
Amount of paper feed can be set by Set Default/Set Test Print Header (DC2 'i') command. The default
is 50 mm.
(b) Process of out-of-paper detection
The printer processes the error operation by lighting the lamp if out-of-paper error detected.
(2) Roll Paper mode
This mode assumes that to print the thermal paper roll.
(a) Process of out-of-paper detection
The printer processes the error operation by lighting the lamp if out-of-paper error detected.
(3) Mark Roll Paper mode
This mode assumes that to print the thermal paper roll with the printed mark at regular intervals on the
back side which to detect paper position. Refer to 2.2 SPECIFIED THERMAL PAPER SPECIFICATION
for the paper roll dimensions.
(a) Operation of paper detection
In this mode, the printer determines the status as the out-of-paper error by feeding the thermal paper
10mm or longer, if it is less than 10mm, the printer determines the status as the mark and does not
detect the out-of-paper error.
