SETTING UP

Mount the platen knob

The platen knob is packed into a recess of the white foam packing material which held your printer inside the packing box. Be careful to remove the knob before disposing of the packing.

Mount the platen knob on its shaft on the right side of the printer. Turn it until you can push it in all the way.

Power should always be off when you turn the platen knob. Turning the platen by hand while power is on can damage the printer’s gears.
