Clear enough space around the printer so that the paper has an unobstructed path in and out of the printer. There are three common methods of arranging a printer and continuous paper:

•Using a printer stand with the paper stacked underneath it.

•Using a desk or table as a stand, with the printer near the rear edge and the paper on the floor or on a shelf.

•Putting the printer on a desk or table and stacking the paper behind the printer.

Now follow these steps to load continuous paper in your EX.

1.Install the paper rest by fitting its hooks into the notches at the back of the printer, as shown in Figure 2-1. This prevents incoming paper from catching on the cable.

2.Remove the dust cover and move the print head to about 40 on the ruler on the paper bail.

3.Pull the paper bail and paper release levers forward.

4.Release the sprocket units by pushing the locking levers back, as shown in Figure 2-2.
