Paper Loading

4

The microFlash series of printers are thermal direct printers requiring thermal paper.

Out of Paper

The printer will sound two quick beeps when it runs out of paper (MF2/3/2t/2tCR/4t/4tCR). If the printer is out of paper, (or the paper release lever is up), the printer will suspend operation until the paper is present and the lever is down. The printer will continue to communicate with the hand held as long as it does not “time out.” Once the printer restarts, it will finish the rest of the print job where it left off. The 2i printer has no paper out indication and will continue to print with no paper providing the printer does not time out.

The next sections will explain how to manually or automatically load paper.
