Paper Size Setup

Use the Paper size setup to add paper sizes not available in the Paper Size list of the device driver.

Before you print using a paper size other than the available ones, you must register the new paper size by sending it to the device.

Printing with a paper size not registered with the device may produce incorrect print results.

  • Paper list

    • image

      NOTE
      Do not register a paper size already registered, to avoid incorrect print results. To use paper of the same size as one that is currently registered, select the size you want from the Paper list, and then change and overwrite the settings from image.

    • There may be contrast variations in the print result due to the operating environment and media used. Modify the settings as necessary.
    • If you increase the Energy rank setting, the print result will be darker, and the print speed may be slower.
    • If the barcode on the printed label is difficult to read, adjust the Energy rank setting.
  • Printing reference point adjustment

    Adjust the position of the reference point (point of origin for printing). This corrects printing misalignments resulting from differences in models or from the fixed margins of some software.

    Tear adjust

    Adjust the cutting position when the paper is cut using the Tear Bar.

  • Media sensor (transparent type/gap)

    Adjust the precision with which the transmissive/gap sensor detects the gaps (spacing) for die-cut labels and the amount of light emitted by the sensor.

    Settings can be specified when Paper types is set to Die-cut label.

    The settings for Media sensor(Transmissive/Gap) in the Device Settings window can influence the detection and calibration results. Make sure you specify the appropriate values.

    Example settings:

    Setting EX1 Setting EX2
    Device Settings +2 -2
    Paper size setup +2 +2
    Actual effect 4 0

  • Media sensor (reflective type/gap)

    Adjust the precision with which the reflective/black mark sensor detects black marks and the amount of light emitted by the sensor.

    image
    The settings for Media sensor(Reflective/Bar) in the Device Settings window can influence the detection and calibration results. Make sure you specify the appropriate values.

    Example settings:

    Setting EX1 Setting EX2
    Device Settings +2 -2
    Paper size setup +2 +2
