Installing Batteries
1. Remove the battery cover access door by pressing the battery compartment access door latch.
Install four alkaline "C" cell batteries. Be sure to observe the polarity indicator sticker.
2.
3. Replace the battery cover access door.
4.6.2
Loading/Clearing Printer Paper
The N-20P uses a thermal paper that can show printed characters on one side only. Make sure that the
paper roll is correctly installed; always refer to the graphical instruction label found on the paper roll.
1. Press down and outward on the top of the paper compartment door to remove it.
2. Feed the paper into the paper compartment slot; refer to the graphic label for orientation.
3. Press and hold the ADV button until the end of the paper appears at the paper exit slot.
4. Replace the paper compartment door.
If the paper jams either during the loading process or during printing, proceed as follows:
1.
Remove both the paper door and the printer-head access cover.
2.
Firmly grab and pull the paper roll backward—out and away from the print head—observe
the access to the print head to determine whether or not the paper escaped from the jammed
position.
3.
If paper remains jammed between the print head and printer, press the ADV button; the
jammed paper may work its way out. If the paper remains jammed, and the printer drive does
not advance the paper, manually advance the drive gear on the side of the printer to free the
paper.
4.
If these attempts fail to free the jammed paper, remove the printer from the unit to gain full
access (see paragraph 5.3, N-20 Disassembly Procedure).

flashing.
