5-1. Loading the roll paper

(1)Push the cover open lever down, and open the top cover.

Note:

Thermal Head may be broken when Static Electricity impressed.

Do not touch Thermal Head.

(2) Peel off the pasted end of a new roll of paper.

Note:

Because the printer cannot print on the pasted portion, remove it completely.

(3) Place the roll as shown below, and pull the leading edge of the

paper forward.

5. Loading the Roll Paper

ENGLISH

Notes:

1. Do not use paper rolls that are deformed as shown below.

Otherwise, a printer error, paper jam, or misaligned printing might occur.

2. If a paper roll is loose as shown below, remove any slack before using it. Using loose paper might cause a printer error, paper jam, or misaligned printing.

(4) Place the paper in the correct orientation, and carefully close the

top cover.

Notes:

1. Place the paper in the correct orientation. If the top cover is

closed while the paper is not correctly in place, a paper jam or

misaligned printing might occur.

2. To close the top cover, push the center (see arrow below) of

the cover until it locks securely. If the cover is locked but the

cover open lever is pressed down, the cover is not completely locked. In this case, press the top cover again. If the cover is not completely locked, printing might be impossible.

3. If the ERROR lamp is lit, print commands cannot be accepted.

Be sure the top cover is securely locked.

5-2. Removing the Paper Roll

(1) Push the cover open lever down, and open the top cover.

Note:

Thermal Head may be broken when Static Electricity impressed. Do not touch Thermal Head.

(2) Remove the paper roll.

6-1. Preventing Paper Jams

Do not touch the paper during ejection or before the paper is completely cut. Holding or pulling the paper by hand during ejection might cause a paper jam, incorrect cutting, or a feed error.

6-2. Clearing a Paper Jam

If a paper jam occurs, remove the jammed paper as follows: (1) Turn off the printer power by turning off the power switch. (2) Press the cover open lever down, and open the top cover. (3) Remove the jammed paper.

ENGLISH

Print dropout might be caused by the presence of paper powder or dust. To avoid this problem, remove any black deposits of paper powder and dust from the paper holder, paper feed section, platen roller, and thermal head surfaces. This cleaning should be performed once a month, or as needed.

7-1. Cleaning the Thermal Head

Use ethyl alcohol to remove any black deposits of paper powder and dust from the thermal head surfaces.

Notes:

1. The thermal head is delicate and easily damaged. Carefully clean it with a soft cloth so that the head surfaces are not damaged.

2. Do not clean the thermal head immediately after printing because it will be very hot.

3. The discharge of static electricity during thermal head cleaning might destroy the thermal head. Carefully clean the thermal head so that it is not damaged by the discharge of static electricity.

4. Wait until the alcohol has completely evaporated before turning on the printer power.

7-2. Cleaning the Paper Holder and Paper Feed Section

Remove any paper powder and dust from the paper holder and paper feed section with a dry or slightly damp cloth.

7-3. Cleaning the Platen Roller

Use ethyl alcohol to remove the paper powder that has accumulated on the surface of the platen roller.
