KS55 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL
5 - BASIC OPERATIONS
5.1 - PAPER LOADING
There are mainly two ways of loading paper: automatic and manual. In any case, before starting
the paper load sequence, please make sure the paper roll has been placed in the right way.
5.1.1 - Automatic paper loading
1. Make sure the KS55 is power supplied.
2. Remove any rest of paper if there is any.
3. Make sure that the platen is closed.
4. Make sure the paper end is cut in a straight way.
5. Thread the paper roll with the right orientation as shown in the next figure. The thermal paper
has only one printing side (thermal side). If there are doubt about which one is the printing side,
just scratch the paper and the thermal side will show up the track on.
6. Once the printer has detected the paper, it will automatically start the paper load sequence
which consist of feeding few millimeters of paper at a very low speed.
Note: running at low speed, the motor will be noisier.
5.1.2 - Manual paper loading
1. Open the printing head by pulling the lever and remove the paper (if there is any). Keep the
printing head open.
2. Place the paper roll in the right direction.
3. Put the paper end in the mechanism inlet. Push the paper in until it reaches the mechanism
outlet.
4. Close the printer head.
