Pressing this button retracts the paper to the paper park position. If a print job was just performed, the
printer will advance the paper to the tear off position and cut the paper (if the optional cutter is installed).
If the cutter is not installed, a paper change incomplete error occurs. Manually cut the paper above the
platen, then press the Pause button. The printer will retract the paper. After the new paper has been
placed into position, the printer will load the new paper. If a paper change incomplete error occurred,

Pressing this button will cause an immediate paper change incomplete error. Manually cut the paper
below the platen, then push the Pause button. The printer will advance the paper until it is out, then load
the selected paper. If you get another paper change incomplete error, insert the new paper and press the
Pause button to load it.
If the paper setting is currently setting a or b:
The printer advances the paper. If a paper path change incomplete error occurs, cut the paper below
the platen and press the Pause button. The printer ejects the paper.
If the printer is not currently using the a and b settings:
The printer advances the paper to the tear-off position and cuts the paper if the cutter is installed.
The printer then retracts the paper to the paper park position. If the cutter is not installed, or the
printer fails to advance the paper to the paper park position, a paper path change incomplete error
will occur. If this happens, cut the paper above the platen, then press the Pause button. The printer
retracts the paper.
