PRINTER

The printer is a receipt/journal dual station type thermal printer, and therefore it does not require any type of ink ribbon or cartridge. The average life of the printer is approximately 5 million lines.

When removing the printer cover, lift up its rear. When installing the printer cover, hook it on the pawls on the cabinet and shut it.

Your register is shipped with the print head release lever held by a white retainer in the lifted up position. Be sure to remove this retainer (see the figure at the right) and push down the print head release lever before you use the register.

The print head can be lifted by the green lever on the right side of the printer. Pulling the lever forward lifts the print head up. If the paper becomes jammed and you need to move the head farther forward, you can pull the lever even further toward you and proceed with the removal of the jammed paper.

Note

Do not attempt to remove the paper roll with the head in the down position. This may result in damage to the printer and print head.
