sticking out of the front cover of the printer.

a perforation is just past the front cover.

automatically reverse feeds the fanfold paper until it is no longer in contact
with the platen, which is indicated by the printer beeping a number of
times. Also, the control panel’s POWER indicator starts to flash because
paper is not loaded.
