2.3.1
Head Open Lever
The Head Open lever (green) is located at the left front of the printer
mechanism as shown in the two pictures below. The up position is ready
to print. The down position lowers the platen roller away from the print-
head for manually inserting paper or for clearing a paper jam. The down
(open) position signals the microprocessor that the head is open so that
no printing will occur.

Placing the lever in the down
position allows for jams near the
platen area to be cleared or for
loading paper manually.
