This section describes the procedure for mounting the panel-mounted printer to an expansion bay.
The printer should be mounted to the panel prior to wiring.
To load the printer paper, follow these steps.
1. Push the spring-loaded, rectangular latches inward and pull forward to release the printer
access panel.
2. Install a new roll of Simplex-approved paper (4190-9803 [473-019])
(thermal side up) on the
upper spindle.
3. Fold paper back onto itself to form a straight and clean edge and feed it directly into the paper
input slot.
4. The printer will automatically feed paper through the
PAPER
mechanism. Use the power
switch in the "FEED"
PATH
position to advance paper further through the mechanism. Feed an
appropriate amount of paper through the printer to allow the installation onto the paper
take-up journal.
5. To load paper onto the take-up journal, unscrew the fastener holding the left-side guide plate
and pinch rod. Install the paper between the main take-up shaft and pinch bar. Secure the
left-side guide plate and pinch rod with the fastener. Manually rotate the take-up mechanism
as shown to remove excess slack in the paper.
