Paper Guide: FM40/FM50
FM40/50 The recorder in the FM40 and FM50 features a transparent paper guide which:
•
facilitates correct alignment of the paper, both during loading and while the recorder is running.
See “Loading Paper: FM40/FM50” on page 45.
• incorporates a tear-off edge, which not only allows you to tear off the trace paper where you like
(not necessarily at a fold), but also helps to avoid paper misalignment while doing so (see “Tearing
Off the Paper: FM40/FM50” on page 48).
• is removable (see “Removing the Paper Guide: FM40/FM50” on page 42).
Removing the Paper Guide: FM40/FM50
