7. Preventing and Removing Paper Jams 7-1. Preventing Paper Jams To avoid paper jams and other problems, feed the paper at least 1 mm (8 dot lines) before printing. If you want to use the cutter, to avoid paper jams and other problems, we recommend a margin of at least 5 mm from the end of the printed area to the cutting position.
7-3. Releasing the Cutter Lock If the auto cutter locks up, restart the printer by turning the power switch off and then back on. A typical locked cutter will be restored when you restart the printer. If restarting the printer does not release the locked cutter, follow the procedure below. Note 1: Be sure to turn off the printer before performing maintenance on the cutter.
8. Maintenance Accumulation of paper dust and dirt may cause the printer to not print portions of characters. To prevent such problems, perform periodic maintenance, such as removing paper dust from the paper transport sec- tion and removing the blackened paper dust from the thermal head surface. As a guideline, clean the printer every six months.
