Chapter 4 Media (Paper) and Ribbon

5. To load the roll of paper, first insert the paper core adaptors (3-inch) into the paper core (see
SUGGESTION below), where they must be positioned properly, and put those onto the paper roll shaft,
pushing the roll of paper to the deepest side, then attach the paper holder to the paper roll shaft. At this
time, be careful about the direction of the plate the shorter side should face down when the printer
is the standard model, and up when the printer is equipped with the peeler option.
SUGGESTION
• When the paper width is greater than 38 mm (1.5 in), use two pieces of paper core adaptor.
• You may not need the 'paper core adapter' when the printer is used with outward-wound media.
A better paper path may be achieved by hanging the 3- or 4-inch internal diameter roll of paper
directly onto the paper roll shaft. However, caution should be exercised to ensure the media
doesn't foul the optional peeler/rewinder spool, if fitted.
6. Pull the free end of the roll of paper through the mechanism as shown below. The paper path can be
seen clearly when viewed from the side of the printer, passing below the open paper guide roller and
open printhead.
