1.5.1 Roll paper
1.5.1.1 Adjusting the Roll Paper Guide
1.Adjust paper guide A (1) to the paper width.
Paper width: 2.75 inches (69.5 mm) or 3.00 inches (76.2 mm)
1) When the printer is shipped, the paper width is set for wide roll paper (3 inch or 76.2 mm width)
o425_10.jpg
2) To use narrow roll paper (2.73 inch or 69.5 mm width), hold up the roll paper guide and move it to the left to insert
into the hole (1) at the lower frame.

2.Adjust paper guide B to the paper width.
1) Pull out the set paper in arrow direction (a) and push it in the arrow direction (b) until it stops or until it touches the
inside of the Guide-Rear edge (1).
2) Keeping the paper in position, turn the adjusting screw counter-clockwise to release the paper guide B (2) and adjust
it to fit the roll paper edge. After paper width adjustment, turn the screw (3) clockwise to fasten the paper guide B.

1.5.1.2 Loading the Roll Paper
Use roll paper that matches the specifications.
Note: The printer must be turned on before installing the roll paper.
1.Fold the paper so it is exactly straight and even (1), and will not tear off jaggedly (2).

2.Turn on the printer and open the printer cover. Remove the rewinder.
3.Insert the roll paper as shown below.

4.Insert the tip of the paper into the paper inlet as far as it will go, and feed the roll paper until the paper comes out from the
top of the printer.

5.When using the rewinder, follow the steps and the illustration below.
1) Turn the flange into the arrow direction and remove it.
o425_93.jpg
2) Insert the tip of roll paper into the groove of the rewinder as shown in the detail figure.
Then, turn the rewinder into the arrow direction to wind the roll paper around it 2 or 3 times.

4) Mount the rewinder on the printer.
Note:When using narrow roll paper (2.73 inch or 69.5 mm width), turn over the flange as the arrow (e) and then
mount it following the above procedures 3) and 4).
Note:The flange can be demounted in the reverse procedures to its mounting.
Note:This printer can use two kinds of roll paper. Their widths are 69.5mm+0.5mm and 76.2mm+0.5mm.
Roll papers other than the above are outside the guarantee, and we recommend these papers not be used. If you use
unrecommended roll papers and have problems, we will not guarantee either the printer or the performance. Even roll papers
outside the above defined range can be used by inserting the Spacer that comes with the printer, if the space between the
Flange and the Roll paper is 1mm. You must test thoroughly before you decide to use it, to make sure that there is no problem.
6.Close the printer cover.

1.5.1.3 Adjusting the Roll Paper Near End Sensing Position
The paper near end detector detects when the paper is almost gone by measuring the diameter of the Roll paper.
If you want to change the amount of paper remaining when the printer stops printing, follow the steps below to adjust the
paper near end detector.
Note:If the inner diameter of the Roll paper core is more than 26mm (1.02 inch), the Roll paper near end detector may
not work properly.
1.Open the printer cover and remove the rewinder.
2Determine the point on the Roll paper at which you want the near end detector to be triggered. Then measure the distance
A shown in the illustration.
OP425_02.eps
Note:There may be some difference between the measured distance A and the actual sensing position.
3.Find the corresponding adjustment position number from the table below.
Distance AAdjustment position number
4 mm (0.16")#1
6 mm (0.24")#2
8 mm (0.32")#3
11 mm (0.43")#4
19 mm (0.75")#5
26 mm (1.02")#6
Note:Above values are applicable when the inside diameter at the core of the Roll paper is 10 mm.
4.Loosen the detector screw with a coin or screwdriver.
5.Set the detector scale to the position you determined from the table by moving the detector screw up or down. The
numbers #1, #2, #3... are not marked on the detector scale.

10. Preparation
1) Position the printer at the front edge of the support (this promotes the unrestricted flow of paper into the printer), then
place a stack of Sprocket (Tractor) Paper below the printer.
2) The standard height of desks on which the printer is installed should be 75cm. Paper should be loaded in parallel with
the paper running path wherever possible. The deviation to right and left should be 5cm or less.
3) The ejected paper should be folded squarely on the floor to enable smooth paper conveyance. Inappropriate paper
setting may deteriorate print quality.
