2.2) Loading the Paper Roll
a. Make sure that the paper roll matches the printer specification. Do not use paper rolls that have the
paper glued to the core because the printer cannot detect the paper end correctly.
Important: The printing quality and lifespan of the thermal head cannot be guaranteed if any paper
other than that recommended is used. Thus, the warranty will be void automatically if any fa ult
occurs due to the use of wrong paper rolls.
b. Open the paper roll cover pressing the cover-open button
Important: Donot pull the cover open lev er and open the printer cover during printing is in process.
c. While oberserving the direction of the roll, set the paper roll into the hollow, and pull on the
leading edge of the paper toward you as shown:

5. Safety and Maintenance
5.1) Safety Information
1. Do not touch the HEAD of printe r wi th anything.
2. Do not touch the cutter blade.
3. Only use the power supply that is come along with the printer.
4. Do not bend the power cord excessively or place any heavy objects onto it.
5. When connecting or disconnecting the plug, always hold the plug-not the cord.
6. Keep the desiccant out of children s reach.
7. Use only approved accessories a nd do not try to disassemble, repair or remodel it for yourself.
8. Do not let water or other foreigh objects in the printer.
9. Install the printer on the stable surface, choose a firm.level surface where the printer will not be
exposed to vibration.
10. Do not use the printer when it is out of order. This can cause a fire or an electrocution.
11. Do not connect a telephone line into the peripheral drive connector.
12. We recommend that you uplug the printer from the power outlet whenever you do not plan to use
it for long periods.
5.2) Periodical Cleaning
Printed characters may become partially unclear due to accumulated paper dust and dirt. To preven t
such a problem, paper dust collecte d in the paper holder and paper transport section and on the
surface of the thermal head must be removed periodically. Such cleaning is recommended to be
carried out once six month or one million li nes.
a. Cleaning the Thermal Head
To remove blackish dust collected o n th e surface of the thermal head, wipe it with Isopropyl
alcohol(IPA)
Note: The thermal head is easy to damage, so clean it gently with a soft cloth. Take sufficient care
not to scratch it when cleaning it.
b. Cleaning the Paper Holder
Use a soft cloth to remove paper dust from the paper holder and paper transport section.
5.3) Preventing Paper Jams
Page 16
Sinocan International Technologies Co., Ltd. P06-U/S/L User’s Manual
16
The paper should not be touched during printing. Shift the paper during paper ejection may cause a
feed failure or paper jam.
5.4) Fixing Paper Jam
The Status LED(Red) on the printer control panel will flash with beeps if paper is jammed.
Please follow below instruction to remove pape r jam.
a. Switch the printer power off.
b. Open the printer cover by pushing the Coveropen
button.
c. If the printer cover opens, remove the jammed paper gently (take care not to touch the printer
head.) And reinstall the paper r oll.
d. If the printer cover will not open, please re sta r t th e printer by switching power off/on, and try again,
if the cover is still unable to open please follow the below instruction.
1. Set the printer power OFF
2. Slide off the side lid to reveal the auto cutter.
3. Roll the little gear as shown until the warning beeps is stopped.
CAUTION:
Since working on the cutter may be dange rous, be sure to turn off the printer first.
Note:
Do not apply extreme force to open the front cover to prevent damage to the cutter. If the front cover
will not open properly, please contact your dealer.
e. Return the cutter to its home-position and release or clean our the jammed paper in inside the front
cover. Open the top cover, and then reinstall paper
(Reinstall Paper Roll) (Tear off the paper as shown)
