8. Preventing and Clearing Paper Jams

8-1. Preventing Paper Jams

The paper should not be touched during ejection and before it is cut.
Pressing or pulling the paper during ejection may cause a paper jam, paper cutting
failure or line feed failure.

8-2. Removing Paper Jam

If a paper jam occurs, clear it as described below.
(1) Set the power switch to off to turn off power to the printer.
(2) Pull the lever toward you to open the printer cover.
Note: Make sure that the lever is pulled until it stops at the stopper. If the lever
is not pulled up to the stopper, the printer cover may not open.
(3) Remove the jammed paper.
Note: Take care not to damage the printer when removing the jammed paper.
Since it is easy to damage the thermal head in particular, take care not
to touch it.
