NOTE This setting is not applied when you use the take-up reel. Parameters: ● NORMAL - Detects the leading edge of the media when you replace or load the media, and then completes media loading after checking for skew. ● REDUCED - Detects the leading edge of the media when you replace or load media, and then completes media loading after detecting the edge of the media by rewinding. NOTE The recommended setting is NORMAL. If you select REDUCED, follow these instructions: ● Cut the edge of the media so that the edge of the media is parallel to the guide line and then load the media. If the edge of the media is not straight, the printer will deposit ink on the platen and that can cause a printhead crash. ● Load the media after checking that there are no wrinkles on the edge of the media. Wrinkled media can cause a printhead crash. ● Load the media after checking that there is no tape or glue on the edge of the media. If using media with tape or glue, it can cause a media jam.
