Loading Roll Paper

Load roll paper onto the spindle before loading the roll paper in the printer.
Note: To prevent dust from accumulating inside the printer, always keep the roll paper cover and cut sheet cover closed unless you are loading or unloading media.
Note: This product does not support 3-inch core diameter media.
  1. Remove any tape and protective paper from the end of the roll. Make sure the paper is cut straight across to avoid paper feeding problems.
    Note: Avoid touching the surface of your paper or leaving it on a dusty area.
