STEP 2. Unlock the release lever by pulling it in the direction of the arrow.
(See Fig. 30.)
STEP 3. Pull the scale toward the front of the Printer to detach the scale from
the platen.
STEP 4. Confirm that the paper guide roller is at the center of the sprocket shaft.
If not, set it at the center of the shaft.
NOTE: The paper guide roller contributes to smooth paper feeding.
STEP 5. Raise the two paper holding covers, and be sure to insert the fanfold
paper between the frame and plastic roller of the separator. (See Fig. 30.)
STEP 6. Push the paper into the insertion slot between the paper guides at the
rear part of the printer mechanism.
NOTE: Be sure to pass the paper beneath the upper paper guide.
