Handling rolls Selecting the Paper Type (Roll) When changing the type of paper after the paper has been advanced, specify the type of paper as follows. Important • For best printing results, the printer ne-tunes the feed amount for each type of paper. That's why the margins and the size of printed images may vary depending on the type of paper used. If printing results are not as you expected, adjust the paper feed amount and Printhead height. (→P.458) (→P.457) Note • After you load the roll, the printer automatically shows a menu for selection of the paper type on the Display Screen, unless a barcode has been printed on the roll or you have activated automatic detection of the remaining roll paper. Select the type of paper, and then press the OK button. If no barcode has been printed on the roll and you have activated automatic detection of the remaining roll paper, specify the roll length after the paper type. (→P.111) 1. Press the Menu button to display MAIN MENU. 2. Press ▲ or ▼ to select Media Menu, and then press the ► button. 3. Press ▲ or ▼ to select Roll Media Type, and then press the ► button. 4. Press ▲ or ▼ to select the type of paper loaded in the printer, and then press the OK button. Note • For details on types of paper, see the Paper Reference Guide. (→P.101)By factory default, Plain Paper is selected. • Be sure to select the correct paper type. If this setting does not match the loaded paper, it may cause feed errors and affect the printing quality. 5. Press the Online button to bring the printer online. 110 Handling Paper
