Important
• 2-level roll switching is not possible when the paper rolls being fed on the platen are not compatible with
automatic cut-off. For checking which types of paper are compatible with automatic cut-off, look up the
paper you want to use on the "Paper Information List."
• If Auto (Use Printer Settings) is selected for Media Type in the Main sheet, you cannot switch
between upper and lower rolls corresponding to the media type specified by the print job. If different
types of roll paper are set for the upper and lower rolls, specify the media type, such as plain paper or
enameled paper, in Media Type.
Note
• For information on how to set the paper rolls in the printer, see
• When rolls of different types of paper and of different width are set in the upper and lower trays, the
paper roll matching the type of paper specified for the print job will be used.
Depending on the settings, an error may occur causing the wrong paper roll to be used; in such cases,
