Keeping Track of the Amount of Roll Paper Left
There are two methods of managing the amount of roll paper left: by using the barcode and by estimating
the amount of roll paper left.
Managing by the Barcode for the Amount of Roll Paper Left
When you set Manage remaining roll amount to Barcodes in Printer settings on the Home screen, the
amount of remaining roll paper and the media type information are printed as a barcode and text when the
paper is removed. When
Manage remaining roll amount is set to Barcodes and you load roll paper with
a printed barcode, the media type and remaining amount are automatically detected after the roll paper is
loaded. The barcode will be cut off after it has been read.
