Note

Hold the paper roll with both hands, because it is heavy.

Insert this pink paper holder into the side to which the pink tape is attached.

To remove the pink tape from the cut on the tape, tear and pull the pink tape after attaching the paper holders. A part of the tape remains inside the case of the paper roll.

Push the knob of the pink paper holder down and turn it clockwise until it stops. After the pink paper holder is securely connected to the blue paper holder already attached, this knob will flow up and down.

Now the paper roll is ready to be loaded into the paper cartridge of the printer.
