Loading Roll Paper for Printing

Once roll paper is placed on the spindle, follow these steps to load it in the printer:

1. Open the printer’s roll paper cover.

Note

When both 2-inch and 3-inch spindles are loaded, place the 3-inch spindle in the upper position and 2-inch spindle in the lower position. This keeps the paper being fed from the upper roll from rubbing against the lower roll.

Be sure to wrap one of the roll paper belts around the roll you’re not using. See page 2-18.

2.Insert the white end of the spindle into the right mounting bracket inside the printer.

Place the white end on the right

3.Place the black end of the spindle into the corresponding left mounting bracket inside the printer.

Warning

Never attempt to load two 3-inch spindles at the same time. They won’t fit and could roll out of the mounting brackets.
