Be careful not to soil the printing surface of roll paper as you insert it in the slot. This may affect
the printing quality. We recommend wearing clean cloth gloves when handling rolls to protect the
printing surface.
•
If the paper is wrinkled or warped, straighten it out before loading it.
•
If it is difcult to insert the roll paper in the Paper Feed Slot, insert the left or right corner in the slot
rst, and then straighten the paper as you advance it.
•
Load the roll so that there is no gap between the right edge of the paper and the Roll Holder.

is open. If it is difcult to load paper, press the ▲ or ▼ button on the Control Panel to adjust the
