Selecting the Paper T ype (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.
