Mount the platen knob
The platen knob is packed into a recess of the white foam packing
material which held your printer inside the packing box. Be careful to remove
the knob before disposing of the packing.
Mount the platen knob on its shaft on the right side of the printer. Tum
it until you can push it in all the way.
Power should always be off when you tum the platen knob. Turning
the platen by hand while power is on can damage the printer's gears.
