Paper Installation - Detecto Cardinal P50 Owner's Manual

Paper Installation

Do not touch the thermal print head and the detector directly when handling the
printer or replacing paper. Touching the print head may cause damage to the print
head and/or cause faulty printing.
Install the paper with the platen unit released. The printer will not auto load.
Be sure paper is aligned straight in printer. Leave minimum 2 cm of the paper past
the cut-bar.
When setting the platen unit, the reduction gear may interfere with the platen gear
and may cause the platen unit not to engage properly. In such a case, release the
platen unit and set it again.
If the paper is skewed, feed the paper until the paper straightens or open the printer
and re-install the paper roll.
Remove jammed paper with the platen unit released. Do not pull the paper by force
– severe damage may occur.
A. Open the transparent cover.
B. Use the paper included in the package. Insert the paper spindle into the paper roll
and feed it in the groove. Refer to (Fig. 4).
