Abstract
When the paper loaded in a printer is changed to a different type of paper, the paper setting in the printer can be easily updated without a paper mismatch error occurring. When the paper is replaced or the paper setting is changed in the printer, the coveris first opened, the roll paperis removed from the roll paper compartment, and the coveris then closed. A paper settings update command from the host deviceis received and executed when no roll paper is loaded. After the command is executed, the coveris opened, new roll paperis loaded, and the coveris closed. The printerthen indexes the newly loaded paper for printing, and executes a paper identification process to determine if the newly loaded paper matches the content of the current paper settings.
