1.5 SIXLOAD

The printer has been designed with an 

easy paper load

 system to improve handling and simplify use.

This easy paper loading system is called “

sixload

” because when the paper is loaded into the printer, it looks

like the number “6” (the roll on the bottom with the edge lifted).

1.6 MAINTENANCE

1.6.1 Changing the paper roll

To change the roll of paper, proceed as follows:

1)

Open the printer cover (see fig. 1.12) levering on the cover lateral projections and position the paper roll
so that it unrolls in the direction shown in figure 1.13;

(Fig.1.11)

(Fig.1.12)
