Replacing a Paper Roll

CAUTION
120
If you get ribbon ink on the printer's plastic cover, remove it
immediately. Once dried, it is difficult to remove.
1 Toggle the printer off line by pressing the printer toggle switch to the
OnLine / Off Line position. When the printer is off line, the Ready
LED does not illuminate.
2 Grasp the paper roll cover firmly by the grooves on the side and the
front edge. Pull outward to remove the cover.
3 Press the printer toggle switch to Paper feed to advance the paper
approximately one inch beyond the paper cutter.
4 Remove the paper roll.
5 Using scissors, cut the paper feeding to the printer.
6 Pull the remaining paper through the printer mechanism. Pull the
paper from the front (paper cutter side). Pulling the paper out of the
back of the printer will damage the print mechanism.
7 Unroll several inches of paper on the new roll.
8 If it is jagged, cut a straight edge on the paper roll to facilitate the
entry of the paper into the printer.
9 Slide the paper through the slot connecting the paper compartment
and the printer compartment. You can slide it in approximately 1/4
inch before it stops.
10 While holding the paper in place, press the printer toggle switch to
the Paper feed position and hold until approximately one inch of
paper has emerged from the top of the printer
.
Ensure the roll of paper feeds squarely. If it does not, the paper can
jam and possibly damage the printer mechanism.
11 Release the printer toggle switch.
12 Turn the paper roll to take up any slack in the paper feeding to the
printer. Place the paper roll in the paper compartment.
