Open the hinged lid by springing the plastic clip at the rear of the case and lift the lid
open.
Remove the short length of paper remaining in the printing mechanism by:
using the small FEED button
mechanism, or
using the manual wheel (if present), or
gently pulling the paper through the mechanism by hand in normal
direction.
PAPER LOADING PATH
Remove old roll core from the holding fingers and insert the new roll with the paper
direction as shown in the diagram above.
Free the end of the new paper and ensure that the end is cut reasonably straight and
square. Trim with scissors if necessary.
Take the free end of the paper and gently push it over the plastic ramp and into the
mouth of the printer .
By using the manual feed knob (if present) or the FEED button (with power ON), feed the
paper through the mechanism, past the ink ribbon and leave about 6mm (¼ inch) of paper
protruding from the top of the mechanism.
Tighten the ink ribbon in it's cassette by turning the star shaped disc (on the left of the
cassette) 2 or 3 turns clockwise.
Close the case lid making sure the paper feeds through the gap in the lid and secure the
lid catch.
