The Paper Size Setup Feature of the Printer Setting Tool (Windows)

Use the Paper Size Setup in the Printer Setting Tool to add paper sizes not available in the Paper Size list of the printer 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 printer.

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

  2. New

    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 Currently Registered Paper Sizes list in the Paper Size Setup dialog box, and then change and overwrite the settings from the Edit dialog box.

    To save the selected paper format with the new settings, click Overwrite. To add a paper format with the new settings, change the name in the Paper Size Name box, and then click Add.

    Deletes the selected paper format. A deleted paper format cannot be restored.
  5. Import
    Reads the text file containing the paper format settings and uses it to replace the contents of the Currently Registered Paper Sizes list.
    NOTE
    When the list is imported, the entire contents of the Currently Registered Paper Sizes list will be replaced with the imported paper formats.
  6. Export
    Exports the paper formats in the Currently Registered Paper Sizes list to a file. The exported formats can then be distributed to other computers.
  7. Exit
    Exits the Paper Size Setup window and returns to the main window of the Printer Setting Tool.
  8. Option
    Click image, and then select an operation.

    Click Register Paper Size With Printer to register the settings for the selected paper format in the printer.

    Click Save in Command File to export the paper settings as a command file. (The file extension is BIN.)

NOTE
When the paper format is registered with the printer and Exit is clicked, the Paper Size Setup dialog box appears with the added paper size in the Currently Registered Paper Sizes list. If the software is running, exit the software, and then restart it for the new paper format to appear in the list.

    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.
