when the paper roll is nearing depletion.
• Never pull the paper backward through the printer mechanism.

Figure 4-4. Replacing the paper roll
1. To access the paper well (1), press in on the sides of the cover (2) while lifting
up and back.
Place your fingers as close to the oximeter cover as possible
while pressing and lifting. The lid is designed to require this pressure to open
so it does not release inadvertently during transportation of the oximeter.
2. Lift the old paper roll up slightly from the printer and cut across the paper .
Remove the spent roll . This allows you to feed the paper still in the printing
mechanism through to the front . Never pull the paper backward through the
printer mechanism.
3. To remove the remaining paper from the printer, press and hold down the
advance paper button until all paper is free of the printer
.
4. On the new paper roll (REF 0380-1500-113), loosen the end of the paper and
cut diagonally across the end, away from any glue that held the paper to the
roll.
5. Place the new roll in the paper well so that the paper will feed from the
bottom of the roll.
Only one side of thermal printer paper—the shiny side—will accept printing.
Make sure the paper on the roll feeds into the printer from the bottom of the
roll as shown in Figure 4-4.
6. Place the cut end of the paper over the aligning ridge (3) and down into the
printer mechanism. Press and hold down the advance paper button until the
paper is fully through the printer mechanism.
7. Push the cover back down over the paper well and make sure it is secure. You
are ready to print.
