Changing the Paper Width

This printer accommodates 80 mm wide roll paper with no adjustments. For rolls from 38

mm to 70 mm wide, use the roll paper spacer included with the printer. (If the rolls are

from 61 to 70 mm wide, break two tabs off the back of the roll paper spacer. (You can still

use widths from 38 mm to 60 mm with the roll paper spacer with the tabs broken off.)

Follow the steps below to attach the roll paper spacer.

1. Open the roll paper cover.
