Page 23 4. Make sure the head is in the down state. 5. Insert the end of the roll of paper straight into the printer's paper insertion slot. The proper amount of paper is then loaded automatically (auto loading). • If the end of the roll of paper is feathered or folded, cut off the end with scissors, etc.
Page 24: Setting The Journal Roll Paper
Chapter 3 Paper Handling Setting the Journal Roll Paper 1. Open the rear cover. • Be sure to remove the front cover before opening the rear cover. 2. Remove the spool, then lower the writing table to the rear. 3. Place the roll paper in the paper holder as shown in the illustration.
Page 25 The head will move to the head down condition, with the head platen closed. 5. Insert the end of the roll of paper straight into the printer's paper insertion slot. The proper amount of paper is then loaded automatically (auto loading).
Page 26 Chapter 3 Paper Handling 7. Move the writing table back to its original position and lock it. 8. Remove the spool partner from the spool temporarily, then insert the end of the roll of paper into the slot in the spool and wind up the paper on the spool two or three times so it will not come off the spool.
Page 27 While winding the paper onto the spool so there is no slack, make sure it is moving along the guide in the writing table. • Make sure the gear of the spool is engaged in the printer gear. 10.Close the rear cover, then replace the front cover, following the procedure used for removing the covers in the reverse order.
Page 28: Replacing The Roll Paper
If the amount of roll paper remaining becomes low, the ERROR indicator blinks, remind- ing the operator that it will soon be time to replace the roll paper. Printing will stop automatically if the printer runs out of roll paper. The print head and auto cutter are hot during or immediately after printing.
Page 29 5. Set a new roll of roll paper. • When replacing the journal roll paper, take out the spool and move the writing table back, then set the roll paper. • If the paper is inserted crooked, move the head up lever to move the head to the up condition, then correct the paper's path manually.

This sensor is located in the paper path of the receipt printer and the journal printer. When paper is inserted in the printer's paper path, the paper is loaded. If the paper in the paper path runs out, it is indicated by the ERROR indicator (Paper End Error). Printing is halted.
Page 39: Paper Near End Sensor
Paper Near End Sensor This sensor is located on the roll paper holder on the receipt side and the journal side. When the winding diameter of the roll paper becomes small, it is indicated by the ERROR indicator. Since the amount of roll paper remaining may differ depending on the thickness of the winding core, the near end sensor can be set so as to correspond to the thickness of the winding core.
