Paper feed slot
CAUTION
• Make sure that the left and right sides of the roll paper are pulled out evenly. If
the roll paper is loaded at an angle, the skew detection function will cause the
[ERROR] LED (red) on the control panel to light.
If the [ERROR] LED lights (red), follow the procedure described below to pull
the roll paper out toward the rear of the printer and then reload it.
Procedure
(1) Hold the roll paper that has been inserted into the paper feed slot at the left
and right edges, and pull it gently back toward the rear of the plotter (the side
with the roll paper stocker).
(2) Rotate the roll paper stocker toward the rear, and, while making sure that the
right edge touches the flange, wind the paper back onto the roll. At this time,
make sure that the left and right edges of the roll paper are flush with the
core.
(3) Press the [CANCEL] button on the control panel, and check that the [ERROR]
LED (red) is extinguished.
(4) Pull a length of paper out from the roll, making sure that the left and right
sides are pulled out evenly, and then insert the leading edge into the paper
feed slot once again.
• If the leading edge is cut on an angle, remove the roll paper stocker from the
printer, remove the roll from the stocker, and then trim the leading edge so that
it is parallel with the stocker.
6. The roll paper stops automatically at the printing position, and the printer is now
ready to print.
CHECKPOINT
• Make sure that there is no slack in the paper. If there is any slack, rotate the roll
paper stocker toward the rear to take up the slack, making sure that the right
edge is in contact with the flange.
