VI LOADING AND CHANGING THE PAPER
Before you put in a new roll of paper, look at the way the paper is in the machine now. Notice that the paper comes off the BOTTOM of the roll and up behind the print head.
To load more paper:
1.Remove the paper cover by pushing it toward the rear of the unit and lifting up. See Figure 1. Be sure to remove and save the paper roll spindle that is inside the paper roll you are removing; you will need it later.
2.Cut or tear the paper as show in Figure 2 to separate the paper roll from the paper in the machine.
3.To remove the paper remaining in the printer, press the [RETURN] key several times until the paper comes out at the top of the printer.
4.Cut paper, at least 2 1/2”, at the end of the new roll into a point or “V” shape:
2 1 / 2”
Place the paper roll spindle that you removed in Step 1 into the hole in the center of the paper roll.
5.Insert the new paper roll by feeding the paper into the well. Be sure that paper feeds from the BOTTOM of the roll. See Figure 3.
6.Using the [RETURN] key, feed the paper until it comes up behind the print head. Continue feeding until the paper comes up through the paper cutting window, as shown in Figure 4.
7.Place the roll of paper in the paper well and replace the plastic cover on the machine.
