Detection of paper layout information
The printer supports the following paper types:
a. Plain paper (including full-sheet label paper)
b. Black mark paper
c. Die-cut label paper (including die-cut label paper with black
marks)
When using black mark or die-cut paper, the printer can move the paper to the
start position, cutting position, peeling-off position, or tear-off position
according to the paper layout settings.
To use this function, provide the printer with paper layout information,
including the paper type and size, before printing. Use of the printer without
these settings may result in a paper layout error or unexpected printouts.
Therefore, set the paper layout when you:
(1) use label paper for the first time,
(2) change the paper type (plain paper, black mark paper, or die-cut label
paper),
(3) change the paper size, or
(4) switch to die-cut label paper of the same size as the current paper but
with a different base color or other specification.
You can set the paper layout automatically or manually. The next and
subsequent pages provide detailed information.
Note: The paper layout must be set under the same temperature
conditions as in the actual operating environment of the printer.
Otherwise, the cutting position may be outside the base area for
labels because of a temperature difference.
Note: - The printer provides a function that automatically detects the paper
layout. This automatic layout detection function obtains fixed
information on width settings. Therefore, OKI recommends that you
manually specify these settings.
Note: - There are two ways to manually set up the printer:
(1) Paper information setting using the driver
(2) Paper information setting using the utility
