Loading Rolls on the Roll Holder When printing on roll paper, attach the roll paper to the roll holder. Roll paper comes in two types: 2-inch and 3-inch cores. If using 3-inch core roll paper, attach the 3-inch paper core attachment to the roll holder and holder stopper. Caution • Set the roll on its side on a table or other flat surface so that it does not roll or fall. Rolls are heavy, and dropping a roll may cause injury. Important • When handling the roll, be careful not to soil the printing surface.
1. Rotate the holder stopper lever (A) towards to release the lock, and while holding it in position (B), remove holder stopper from the roll holder. 2. If using 3-inch core paper, align 3-inch paper core attachment R tabs (A) with roll holder holes (B) and insert firmly. 3. With leading edge of roll paper facing forward as shown, insert Roll Holder from right side of roll. Insert firmly until roll paper touches flange (A) of roll holder.
Important • When loading a roll, be careful to avoid hitting the printer hard with the roll. This may damage the roll holder. • If you stand the roll holder vertically and set the roll paper by dropping, the roll holder may be damaged. 4. If using 3-inch core roll paper, attach 3-inch paper core attachment L to holder stopper. Align the tabs (A) of the attachment with the holes (B) of the holder stopper, and insert firmly. 5.
Loading Rolls in the Printer Follow these steps to load rolls in the printer. Important • Before loading a roll, confirm whether the inside of the top cover or the output guide is soiled. If these areas are dirty, we recommend cleaning them in advance. (See "Cleaning Inside the Top Cover.") Watch the movie 1. Tap Load paper or Replace paper on the Home screen of the operation panel. Note • If the Home screen does not appear, tap the HOME button. 2. Tap Load roll paper.
4. Holding the roll holder flange (A), guide the holder along the slide guides (B) on both ends, keeping the holder level as you load it in the roll holder slot. Caution • Do not force the roll holder into the printer with the right and left ends reversed. This may damage the printer and roll holder. • Do not release the flanges until the holder is loaded in the roll holder slot.
• Be careful not to pinch your fingers between the slide guides (B) and the roll holder shaft (C) when loading rolls. Important • If the leading edge of the roll paper is cut crooked or folded, it may not be fed correctly. Cut the leading edge of the roll paper with scissors or the like and straighten it. • Load the roll paper so that it is not loaded in the opposite direction. 5. Insert the edge of the roll in the feed slot (A) and advance the roll until you hear the feed tone.
6. After paper feeding has started, do the following operations based on the Manage remaining roll amount setting and the barcode printed on the roll paper (see "Keeping Track of the Amount of Roll Paper Left"). • When selecting Disable or Warning message only in Manage remaining roll amount. A menu for selecting the media type appears on the operation panel. Operate the operation panel and select the media type to be used.

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 Device 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.
6. Check the length of the roll paper. Note • The length of the roll paper to be displayed can be set in Roll length (change default). Setting the Default Value of the Amount of Roll Paper Left when Managing by the Barcode • If the length of the roll paper to be displayed is different from the length of the roll paper actually used, set the actual length. 7. Select the timing when the warning message appears.
Managing by Estimating the Amount of Roll Paper Left When you set Manage remaining roll amount to Warning message only in Device settings on the Home screen, if the amount of roll paper left decreases, the Status lamp on the operation panel lights up orange and the warning message is displayed. The barcode is not printed. The time to display warning message can be set in Roll amount warning setting. If you increase the level in Roll amount warning setting, the warning message appears sooner.
Specifying the Ink Drying Time for Rolls When you are using paper that takes longer for ink to adhere, ink may be transferred onto the paper surface during ejection, soiling it. In that case, you may be able to improve the condition by setting the time to wait for the ink to dry after printing. Note • If the cutter touches the print surface on which the ink is not dry, the paper surface may become scratched or soiled, or the paper surface may rub when the paper falls and the surface may become soiled.
3. In the Paper Detailed Settings dialog box displayed next, select the desired values from the lists for Between Pages and Between Scans in Drying Time, and then click OK. (See "Main Tab Description.") macOS 1. Choose Print in the application menu. 2. Select Paper Detailed Settings panel.
3. Select desired values from lists for Dry Time (Between Pages) and Dry Time (Between Scans). (See "Paper Detailed Settings.
Specifying the Cutting Method for Rolls How rolls are cut after ejection varies depending on printer settings. • Automatic cut The roll is automatically cut by the cutter blade according to the printer driver settings. ◦ Printer Setting Tap paper settings display area >Paper settings>Advanced>Cutting mode>Automatic cut ◦ Driver Setting Automatic Cutting>Yes See "Cutting Roll Paper after Printing" (Windows). See "Cutting Roll Paper after Printing" (macOS).
• Paper cutting (to have the roll cut at your specified position) Select this when you want to cut the roll paper by operating the cutter blade using the operation panel after printing with No or Print Cut Guideline selected in Automatic Cutting in the printer driver. Otherwise choose this option if you want to cut the roll edge after loading a roll.
Note • If the Home screen does not appear, press the HOME button. 2. Tap Paper settings. 3. Tap Advanced. 4. Tap Cutting mode. 5. Tap Eject cut. 6. Print the job.

Countermeasures against Unauthorized Access This section describes countermeasures against an unauthorized access to the printer from outside. When you use the printer via a network or you are an administrator, we recommend you read this section before using the printer. Four countermeasures below can be helpful against an unauthorized access.
Restrict Communication Using Firewall or Wi-Fi Router Firewall is a system which prevents an unauthorized access from an external network user to protect an inhouse network against attack or intrusion. Firewall enables your network to be protected against an unauthorized access by restricting a communication from the specific external IP address which seems to have a risk. A home use Wi-Fi router has a similar function. Be careful when you change the settings.
Network Status and Troubleshooting Check the network status referring to LAN setting information on the touch screen. Confirm LAN settings Network Status Connected normally. If you are unable to print, see 1 on What to Do. What to Do 1.
The security key is case-sensitive. Enter the correct security key. The number of connected clients reaches the upper limit. Make sure wireless signal is strong.
