Setting Up the Printer 1–11

Installing the Paper Roll

Notes:

Be sure to use a paper roll that meets the specifications.

Do not use paper rolls that have the paper glued to the core because 
the printer cannot detect the paper end correctly. However, if you 
will stop the printing using the paper roll near-end sensor, you can 
use glued type paper rolls.

1. Using scissors, cut the leading edge of the paper roll as shown 

below.

2. Turn on the printer and open the printer cover.

3. Insert the paper roll.
