If neither the receipt nor the journal paper is installed (especially relevant
for initial startup), you must first thread the receipt paper through the paper
feed. It is then possible to install the journal paper.
Green paper feed button
The green paper feed button (see drawing overleaf), which is active for the
receipt or journal station, can be seen when the cover is open. Push this
button to thread new paper rolls in. Actuating the button will change the
position of the feed rollers mechanically in addition to initiating line feeds
electrically.
If the button is actuated after the cover has been opened, the paper will
only be fed in the station in which the end-of-paper sensor outputs the
signal “paper present” to the printer controller. If paper was present in both
stations when the cover was opened, it will be fed on both stations
simultaneously.
If one of the print stations does not contain any paper, the feed motor of
this station will switch on automatically after the cover has been opened in
order to eject any remaining paper that may be present.
If paper is fed on one of the print stations after the cover has been
opened, the feed motor of this station will switch on automatically at low
speed.
If the end-of-paper sensor outputs the “paper present” signal to the
controller again after paper has been inserted, only the paper at this
station will be fed when the paper feed button is actuated.
If paper has been inserted for the receipt station, the paper is advanced
automatically and thus pulled taught after the cover has been closed. It is
then cut off in order to obtain a clean leading edge.
The paper feed button is only active when the cover switch outputs the
signal “cover open” to the printer controller.
