5-2. Setting the Paper Width
Separator A is set to the position for a paper width of 70 mm at the time of
shipment from the factory.
- By adjusting the position of separator A, you can use paper with a width
within a range of 70 to 25.4 mm. (See "Section 5-2-1. Attaching separator A.")
- To use paper with a width of 80 mm, remove separator A.
(See "Section 5-2-2. Removing separators A and B.")
- To use paper with a width of 83 mm, remove separators A and B.
(See "Section 5-2-2. Removing separators A and B.")
Note : When replacing the separator, set a paper width appropriate to the
print area, referring to "Special Modes."
(See Examples (7) in Section 10-2, "Setting Up the Printer.")
Note : If the printer is using narrow paper (e.g., width of 70 mm), do not replace
the paper with wide paper (e.g., width of 80 mm). In printing with
narrow paper, part of the thermal head (the part where there is no
paper) comes in direct contact with the platen roller. The resulting wear
may lead to a deterioration in print quality. Similarly, if the paper width
is changed such that the cutter blade cuts at a location that has no paper,
the resulting wear on the blade may lead to improper cuts.
Note : Do not touch the thermal head except during cleaning. Doing so may
result in damage from static electricity.
