Installing A Paper Roll - VeriFone Omni 3200 Reference Manual

Installing a Paper Roll

Step 7: Install a Paper Roll in the Printer
Caution: Because impact, friction, temperature, humidity, light, and
oil affect the coloring and storage characteristics of thermal paper,
handle this type of paper carefully. Never load a roll of paper that has
any folds, wrinkles, tears, or holes at edges or in the printing area. For
best results, cut the leading edge of the paper, instead of tearing it,
before feeding it into the printer.
To install a roll of thermal printer paper in the Omni 3200:
1. Be sure the terminal is connected to a power source. (The green
LED indicator should be blinking off and on.)
2. Remove the paper roll cover from the top of the terminal by
lifting up on the back of the cover.
3. Remove the protective strip from a new roll of paper and cut a
clean, straight edge on the leading end of the paper.
4. Holding the roll with the paper feeding from the bottom of the
roll, slowly guide the leading end into the paper feed slot (see
Figure 15). When the sensor detects the paper, the feed
mechanism starts automatically, advancing the paper into the
printer. If necessary, press the paper feed button until the paper
emerges from the slot below the serrated metal strip.
5. Insert the plastic spindle into the hole in the paper roll. Then,
place the spindle and roll into the paper roll cradle so the ends of
the spindle rest securely in the two slots.
6. If necessary, hold down the paper feed button until about
5 centimeters (2 inches) of paper emerge from the printer.
7. Replace the paper roll cover by inserting the two front tabs first
and then lightly pushing down the back until it snaps in place.
Lift up the edge of the paper when you install the paper roll cover
so that it rests on top of the cover.
