9-4 How to Set the Paper roll

Set the paper roll as shown in the following procedures.

 Procedure 1. Open the frame for fastening the mechanism (mechanism and presenter).

Hold the unit holder, as shown in Fig. 9.4 A, and open the frame for fastening the mechanism.

Then, lift the handle toward the direction of the solid line arrow (the top of the apparatus) to rotate it after

releasing the frame lock (the direction of the broken line arrow). Set as shown in Fig. 9.4 B.

 Procedure 2. Set the paper.

See Fig. 9.4 C to insert the paper roll holder unit into the paper roll core. Then, firmly fasten the left and

right hooks on the paper roll holder onto the paper core edges.

Also, be careful of he direction of the paper roll. The heat sensitive side (recording side) should face the

outside.

After setting the paper roll on the paper roll holder, fit the paper roll holder shaft into the printer unit

bushings to set the paper roll. (Fig. 9.4 D)

 Procedure 3. Load the paper into the mechanism.

After setting the paper roll into the printer unit, feed paper into the mechanism. Then, cut the leading

edge of the paper straight across, as shown in Fig. 9.4 E. If the leading edge of the paper is not cut

straight across, paper being loaded into the mechanism can become jammed.

Pass the leading edge of the sheet between the paper guide and damper rollers shown in Fig. 9.4 F and

insert it directly into the paper inlet on the mechanism. If the paper is not inserted straight, it can become

skewed.

Push the paper from the paper inlet on the mechanism further inside so that the paper sensor will detect

the leading edge of the paper. The paper will automatically be fed into the mechanism by the paper feed

motor. Then, the system will automatically cut the paper and perform a top of form operation to complete

the setting of the paper. Remove the excess paper at the discharge outlet.

Also, if you detect that the paper skewed when automatically set, reset or fix the paper.

 Procedure 4. Close the frame for fastening the mechanism (mechanism and presenter).

After completing the setting of the paper roll, rotate the frame for fastening the mechanism in the

direction opposite to procedure 1, to securely lock it. At this time, it is dangerous to use the apparatus

without it being completely locked, so be very careful.

Also, when the frame for fastening the mechanism is closed, be careful not to get your hands or fingers

caught.
