This is a multi-step process:

1.Ensure that the paper is loaded on the spindle and that the two black plastic sleeves are positioned on either side of the paper roll in order to keep the roll centered on the spindle and from sliding left or right.

2.Power on the printer. If the paper does not automatically feed through the presenter on power up then you will see a solid red light on LED 2 that will start flashing after a second or two following power up. At this point the paper width sensor needs an adjustment.

3.Power off the printer.

4.Remove the printer from the kiosk and turn it upside down to locate the Paper Feed Sensor assembly. Make sure the Presenter is closed.

6.Power on the printer. You will see 2 lights, a solid green power LED 1 and a solid Red error light on LED 2 that will start flashing after a second or two following power up. If the printer needs a fine adjustment of the Paper Feed Sensor, turn the printer over in order to access the sensor assembly.

7.Slowly slide the black raised positioner on the paper feed assembly until the red error LED2 stops flashing and the paper begins to feeds *Warning: Over adjustment will cause the paper to snag on the sensor.

8.At that point the paper width sensor is set properly to detect the new paper and the printer is ready to be installed in the kiosk.
