2.3.3 Loading Fanfold Paper from under the printer

1. Lift up the main cover. Make sure that the cover
rests firmly on the top of the printer so that it will not
fall forward and injure your hands.
2. Release the purple Head Lock Latch by pulling it
upwards counterclockwise. The print head
assembly will be lifted up to allow label loading.
Note:
It is assumed that the printer is supported on stands to allow fanfold paper to be loaded from
beneath the printer.
3. Unscrew the fanfold cover at the bottom of the
printer. Keep the cover and the screw in a safe
place for future use.
4. Load the stack of fanfold paper straight up through
the bottom fanfold loading slot.
5. Pull the label into the chassis and then into the
print head assembly.
6. Proceed to load the label as described in "2.3.1
Loading Roll Paper" on page 2-13.
7. Pass the paper under the label guide and paper
sensor. Loosen the label guide knob, and adjust
the slide guide so that it lightly touches the edge of
the paper. Now fasten the label guide knob tightly.
8. Remount the print head by pushing down on the head lock lever. The print head should lock
into place firmly.
9. If desired, close the main cover and do a test print to check that the label roll has been loaded
properly. Be careful not to get your fingers caught at the bottom ledge when you are closing
the main cover.
Caution
• When replacing paper, bear in mind that the print head and its surrounding area remain hot. Keep your fingers away from
these areas to prevent injury.
• Avoid touching even the edge of the print head with your bare hands.
