full roll of paper. Select either spring bar for

 

 

installation of a new roll of paper.

 

2.

Remove the wing nuts on both sides of the

 

 

spring bar assembly, and place the assembly on

 

 

your workbench for installation of the paper.

 

3.

Loosen the screws in one or both of the retainer

 

 

sets, and slide them off the spring bar.

be positioned so that when the spring bar as-

6.Retighten the screws in the retainers to hold the paper roll firmly in position.

7.If desired, you may align the paper with the edges of the tape rolls. To do so, loosen the screws in both sets of retainers, and slide them with the paper roll along the spring bar until the edges of the paper roll is aligned with the center of the tape rolls. Tighten the screws in the paper retainers to secure this position on the spring bar.
