1.2
This is displayed when Custom Paper is selected in Paper Type.
When registering Custom Paper, this is the Platen Gap (distance
1.6
between print head and paper) for the paper selected in Change
Reference Paper, so it does not normally need to be changed.
2.1
Change this to a setting that will widen the gap (a higher value) if print
results are smeared.
-4 to +3 It is important to choose the appropriate amount of suction for the
paper used in order to maintain the correct distance between the
paper and print head. Choosing too high a value for thin or soft paper
will increase the distance between the paper and print head too
much, causing print quality to decline or preventing the paper
feeding correctly. In such cases, you will need to lower the paper
suction. The lower the setting value, the weaker the suction power.

On
Select whether to detect (On) or not detect (Off) the paper width
when paper is loaded. Try choosing Off if a paper setting error is
Off
displayed even though the paper is correctly loaded. Note, however,
that the printer may print outside the paper when Off is selected. If it
prints beyond the edges of the paper, the inside of the printer
becomes dirty with ink. We generally recommend using the printer
with this set to On.
The changes are applied after the paper is reloaded. Note that they
are not applied if you just change the menu items.
* Select the type of the loaded paper. The three options other than
Plain paper
Others display the most recently selected paper type. When the
desired paper type is not displayed, touch Others to display the other
Coated
paper types and then select a paper type.
