1-2.Handling Paper Jams

If recording paper should become jammed, open the platen unit (including the presenter unit of TUP592) and remove the jammed paper. Never pull on the jammed paper unnecessary while the printer unit is closed because this can damage the drive system parts.

Remove jammed paper according to the following procedures.

1.Open the platen unit using the release lever.

2.Rotate the knob to remove the jammed paper.

3.Close the platen unit. Check that it has been completely closed at this time.

Notes: 1) When removing the jammed paper, never move you hands near the tear bar or the auto- cutter because it is very dangerous. Also, when opening or closing the rotating portions, be careful not to get your hands or fingers caught.

2)When locking the cutter blades, do not forcefully rotate the platen unit (including the presenter unit of TUP592) because this can be the cause of machine failure. See the following item 1-3 for releasing the cutter lock and opening the platen unit.
