PAPER ROLL REPLACEMENT
The LOADRITE Printer uses standard 57mm wide thermal paper with a maximum roll diameter of 55mm.
To replace the paper roll, complete the following:
1) Slide the
Lid Release
button until the lid springs open.
2) Unroll a small amount of paper from the roll, then insert the paper roll into the printer with the unrolled portion close to the
serrated metal edge.
3) Close the lid ensuring that the unrolled portion of paper protrudes through the slot by the serrated metal edge. The lid will
click into place.
4) Press the
Paper Feed
button and check that the paper is straight and feeds properly.
5) Tear off any excess paper by pulling the paper sharply towards the serrated metal edge.
