Removing Roll Paper

When you finish printing on roll paper, remove it from the printer to avoid indenting or creasing the paper.
Note: If you enabled Remaining Amount Management, the printer prints a barcode on the leading edge of the roll when you remove the roll paper. When you reload the paper, the printer reads the barcode and automatically sets the paper type and amount remaining.
  1. On the LCD screen, select the paper information area and select Remove. The printer rewinds the roll paper.
    Note: If printed paper is not cut and remains loaded in the printer, a confirmation screen appears. Select Cut to cut the paper at the default cut position or select Print Cutting Guidelines to print cut lines at the default position.
  2. Open the roll paper cover.


  3. Firmly push down the lock lever on the roll paper holder to release it.


    Note: Make sure you push the lock lever all the way down to unlock it completely.
  4. Using the handle, slide the roll paper holder all the way to the left and remove it from the end of the roll.


    Note: Always use the handle when sliding the roll paper holder.
  5. Roll the paper forward so that it rests on top of the printer.


    Caution:
    Rolling the roll paper with too much force may damage the printer or the roll paper adapters.If the roll paper adapters are damaged, you may not be able to roll the paper forward. If this occurs, lift the roll paper out of the printer to remove it.
  6. Pull up the tension levers on the roll media adapters and remove the adapters from both ends of the paper roll.


  7. Rewind the paper carefully and place it in its original package.
    Note: Store roll paper on its end or horizontally (if the packaging end-caps are installed). Never store roll paper on its edge, as a flat spot can develop and lead to imaging artifacts on the prints.
  8. Raise the lock lever for the adapter holder to lock it in place.
  9. 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.
