Loading Roll Paper

You can load roll paper with a 2- or 3-inch core and a width of up to 17 inches (43 cm).

Make sure the printer is turned on.
On the control panel, press the paper source button.
Press the down arrow button to select Roll Paper/Cut or Roll Paper/No Cut, and press the OK button.
Open the roll paper cover.
Place the roll paper in the printer as shown (the black end of the spindle goes on the left).
Press the load paper button on the control panel.
Insert the leading edge of the roll paper into the rear manual paper feeder until a message on the LCD screen tells you to press the load paper button.
Press the load paper button on the control panel. The printer automatically feeds the paper to the printing position.
Close the roll paper cover.

Note: To prevent dust from accumulating inside the printer, always keep the roll paper cover closed unless you are loading or unloading media.
On the screen that appears, select one of the following settings:
- If the paper settings are correct, select Yes.
- If you want to change the paper settings, select No so you can adjust the settings.
Press the OK button.
Slide out the output tray. Do not raise the paper stopper or the roll paper may not eject correctly.

Note: If you are printing on plain paper or thin media types, or if you are using the optional Spectroproofer, raise the paper eject support. This prevents paper from curling up in the output tray, which can cause paper jams and print head strikes.
