8. Preventing and Clearing Paper Jams

8-1-1. Roll paper

While placing a roll paper on the printer, do not pull out the end of the paper diagonally.

Also, do not touch the roll paper while it is printing, releasing, or before completing cutting. If

you hold or pull the paper with your hands while the paper is being released, it could cause the

paper to jam, cut improperly, or place a line break improperly.

8-1-2. Slip paper

Do not use paper that is curled, kinked, wrinkled, warped, or torn.

While loading the paper, place it straight.

Also, do not touch the paper while it is printing or is being released.

If you hold or pull the paper with your hands while the paper is being released, it could cause

the paper to jam, cut improperly, or place a line break improperly.

If a paper jam occurs, clear it as described below.

8-2-1. Roll paper

(1) Set the power switch to off to turn off power to the printer.

(2) Push the lever toward you to open the printer cover.

(3) Remove the jammed paper.

Note:

To prevent parts such as the thermal head or the rubber roller from damage or

deformation, do not forcibly pull on the paper with the printer cover closed.

(4) Position the paper roll straight and close the printer cover gently.

Note:

1) Make sure that the paper is positioned straight. If the printer cover is closed with the

paper skewed, a paper jam may result.

2) Lock the printer cover by pressing down on the sides. Do not try to close it by pressing

down on the centre. The cover may not lock properly.

(5) Set the power switch to on to turn on power to the printer. Make sure that the ERROR lamp

is not lit.

Note: While the ERROR lamp is lit, the printer will not accept any commands such as the

print command, so make sure that the printer cover is locked properly.
