Note 1) The unit is assembled for 1 inch paper cores
when shipped from the factory. Also, it is set for a
paper width of 82.5 ±0.5 (take-up width of 83 +0.5/-1)
when the printer is shipped from the factory.

Note

Roll Holder Size

Paper Thickness

1” or 25.4 mm

65 to 100 µm

2” or 50.8 mm

100 to 150 µm

3” or 76.2 mm

100 to 150 µm

“The size of the core

used is related to the

thickness of the paper

used.”

It is necessary to adjust the paper roll holder for the width of the paper you use. If the setting position is incorrect, the paper roll will
be supplied improperly to the mechanism which in turn causes paper transport problems. Thus, it is should be properly adjuste d.

3.0.2.2. A is a reference for the paper roll holder unit paper roll shaft position. Adjust or mount the paper roll holder unit for the

core diameter and width of the paper you intend to use.

3-1 Handling 82.5 mm Paper Width

See Fig. 3.4.2.2.B for the paper roll holder setting position to handle paper widths of 82.5 ±0.5 mm.
Position the roll paper holder edge at position scale c.

See the figure to assembly at the correct position.

Note 1) The paper roll holder is assembled to that position when shipped from the factory.

3-2 Handling 79.5 mm Paper Width

See Fig. 3.4.2.2.C for the paper roll holder setting position to handle paper widths of 79 ±0.5 mm.
Position the edge of the paper roll holder at position scale c

3-3 Handling 57.5 mm Paper Width

See Fig. 3.6.2.2.D for the paper roll holder setting position to handle paper widths of 57.5 ±0.5 mm.
Position the edge of the paper roll holder at position scale b

3-4 Handling 45 mm Paper Width

See Fig. 3.6.2.2.E for the paper roll holder setting position to handle paper widths of 45 ±0.5 mm.
Position the edge of the paper roll holder at position scale d

Assembly – Paper Roll Setup Continued

Once the paper roll holder is properly configured
for the roll to be used, simply insert the roll holder
into the paper core as show.

Be sure that the cut end of the paper roll is
properly cut to ensure proper paper loading.

To aid in the installation of the paper roll, the TUP500’s mechanism is hinged to the base of the printer
allowing the unit to fold open for easier access to the paper inlet path (see below)

Lift handle and pull unit forward.

In this position, it will be much easier to access the
paper inlet for loading of paper.

Position the paper roll as shown.

Slide the cut end of the paper roll into the paper inlet
being careful to feed the paper underneath the
damper rollers.
