1. Raise the printer cover. Raise the platen lever as far as it will go.
(See Figure 7 on page 26 for the location of the lever.)
NOTE: Do not open tractor doors or remove the existing paper.
2. Tabletop models: place the paper supply on the table underneath the
printer, centered under the paper slot. See Figure 9 on 34.
Cabinet models: open the front door and align the paper supply with the
label on the floor.
Pedestal models: place the paper supply on the floor of the printer,
centered under the paper slot.
Enclosed pedestal and Zero Tear Pedestal models: open the front
door and place the paper supply inside the printer, on the floor of the
cabinet.
3. Ensure the paper pulls freely.
4. Feed the paper up through the paper slot (see Figure 9). It may be easier
to feed one corner of the new paper up through the slot first. When this
corner can be grasped from the top, rotate the paper back to the normal
position.
NOTE: If you are using thick, multi-part forms and are unable to load the new
paper over the existing paper, go to step 15.
5. Hold the paper to prevent it from slipping down and through the paper
slot.
