Adding Paper

The printer can print text, bar codes and graphics on thermal receipt paper. See “Supply Specifications” on page 32 for the width, thickness requirements and approved vendors. Follow these steps to load printer paper:

•Open the paper supply cover by placing your fingers under the “T” pull lever. Pull up firmly on the supply cover until the lever stops moving.

Please be careful not to force the “T” pull lever too far back.

•Place the paper roll into the paper supply well. Make sure the paper supply unwinds from the bottom as shown below.

•Position the paper supply between the print-head guides.

•Make sure some supply (2” - 3”) extends beyond the top of the paper supply well.

•Shut the paper supply cover and press close.

NOTE: To prevent any possible damage to the print-head mechanism, it is important to verify that the paper has not been fastened to the inside core in any way. The paper should be wound on the core in such a way that the end of the paper will unwind freely from the core. If fastened by tape or glue, the core will be pulled into the mechanism causing jamming and possible gear damage.

Tearing Paper

The printer’s paper door acts as a tear bar. Pull one edge of the paper against the tear bar as indicated, then pull down and across against the tear bar to rip the paper.

NOTE: Using the tear bar is the only way to rip the paper. Pulling up and sideways without using the tear bar can cause a paper jam due to paper misalignment in the print-head mechanism.
