How to Switch Paper Rolls

Here we will explain how, in certain situations, paper roll 1 and paper roll 2 are switched. Refer to this
information when necessary, for example, when documents will not print as expected, etc.

If you select

Roll Paper (Auto)

under

Paper Source

in the

Page Setup

tab, of the two paper rolls loaded in

the lower and upper trays of the printer, the one best suited for the print job will be automatically selected.

Whether paper roll 1 or paper roll 2 will be used, is determined through a sequence of judgment based on
the 7 conditions in the table below.

At such times, the

Printer settings

->

Paper-related settings

->

Detect paper setting mismatch

in the

Printer unit's Operation panel will switch to the result of the judgment based on the process described below.

If the

Detect paper setting mismatch

setting is set on

Pause

or

Hold job

If the

Detect paper setting mismatch

setting is

Display warning

or

Do not detect

Important

• If the lower roll unit is not loaded or if the roll unit that was set as the take-up unit is loaded, the roll

paper cannot be switched automatically.

Note

• If Error or On hold are displayed, replace the paper to match the requirements of the print job.
• In order to minimize paper waste, it is recommended that you configure the operation panel on the

Printer unit as indicated below.
