1. Turn the printer off.

2. Open the Top Cover.

If the leading edge of the roll jams in the carriage such as when the paper curls strongly,

you may be able to avoid paper jamming by setting the roll cutting method to Manual and

setting the detection of paper leading edge to [Off].

3. If the Carriage is out, move the Carriage out of the way, away from the paper.

If you push the Carriage to the left edge, the blade of the Cutter Unit will be lowered in preparation to cut the paper.

Be careful not to pinch your fingers between the Carriage and Platen if you have pushed the Carriage to the left edge or if a paper jam occurs during cutting.

Do not touch the Linear Scale (a), Carriage Shaft (b), or Fixed Blade (c),

This may stain your hands and damage the printer.

4. Lift the Release Lever.

5. Holding the paper on both sides, pull the jammed portion out toward the front.

Use scissors or a cut- ting tool to cut away the printed or wrinkled portion.

When cutting paper, be careful to avoid injury or damage to the printer.

6 . If the Carriage is on the left, move the Carriage to the right until it stops.

Always move the Carriage to the right side.

If the Carriage is on the left, a Carriage error may occur when you turn on the printer.

7. Hold the edge of the roll paper in the middle as you gently pull it evenly to the position of the Ejection Guide (a). Align the right side of the roll paper with the Paper Alignment Line (b), keeping this side parallel to the line, and then lower the Release Lever.

Do not force the roll paper into alignment with the Paper Alignment Line (b). This may prevent the paper from being advanced straight.

8. Close the Top Cover.

9. Turn the printer on. (See "Turning the Printer On and Off.") The roll is advanced and the printer is ready to print.

For a neater edge, press the Cut button, select Yes, and cut the edge.
