• Set the roll on a table or other flat surface so that it does not roll or fall. Rolls are heavy, and
dropping a roll may cause injury.
Caution
• When handling the roll, be careful not to soil the printing surface. This may affect the printing
quality. We recommend wearing clean cloth gloves when handling rolls to protect the printing

surface.
• Use scissors or a cutting tool to cut the edge of the roll paper if it is uneven, dirty, or has tape
residue. Otherwise, it may cause feeding problems and affect the printing quality. Be careful
not to cut through any barcodes printed on the roll.
• Align the edges of the paper on both ends of
the roll. Misalignment may cause feeding
problems.
