Troubleshooting
PaperLoadingProblems
If the paper feed mechanism does not feed correctly on the first
part of a new paper roll, remove two to three feet of paper from
theoutsideoftheroll.Thelengthofpaperrollscanvarybyas
much as five feet,making the roll too thick for the printer to
accommodate.
If the printer is out of paper (or the paper release lever is in the
up position) this condition interrupts a batch of receipts, and
the printer suspends operation until the condition is fixed. The
printer continues to communicate with the mobile computer as
long as it does not “time out.”
Once the printer is operational, the suspended print batch (if
any) continues to print, ensuring that all receipts are properly
printed.
