Turn the Power Switch to the ON position.
Open the paper cover located on the top right hand side of the

holder until the auto-loader catches it and feeds it through. The
outside of the roll is the printable surface for the thermal paper roll.
Close the paper cover.
NOTE : A red line will appear on both sides of the paper when the paper roll nears
depletion. This indicates that the paper roll should be changed.
