Manual loading

It is also possible to load paper manually while the printer’s power is off. The procedure is:

1.Place the paper guide in position, locating the lugs on the bottom of the assembly into the slots on the rear cover of the printer.

2.Check that printer power is off and the release lever at the back of the printer is down.

3.Open the top cover, then move the bail lever on top of the printer forward to open the paper bail.

4.Adjust the paper guides to match the size of paper you will be using (re- membering that printing will start some distance from the left-hand edge of the carriage).

5.Place a single sheet between the guides, placing the side on which you want to print towards the back of the printer. Gently push the paper down in the guides until you feel it stop.

6.Turn the platen knob clockwise until the front edge of the paper comes out from under the top cover.

7.If the paper is not straight, move the release lever to the up position, straighten the paper by hand, then move the release lever back down.

8.Move the bail lever back to close the paper bail.
