This should already work. How does your conveyor look like? I would use a 4th axis to pull the paper from the roll. As "GCode Footer" you may add e.g. "A100" to pull 100 mm from the roll. Also you could use tiling - just on one axis, which also allows you to add code after each tile: https://grbl-plotter.de/index.php?id=form-setup-1#clipping
