The problem is the paper cannot be loaded
successfully
●
The paper may be loaded at an angle (skewed). Check that the right-hand edge
of the paper is aligned with the half-circle on the right-hand side of the platen and,
particularly in the case of sheet paper, that the leading edge is aligned with the
metal bar in the platen.
●
The paper may be crumpled or warped, or may have irregular edges.
Rolls
●
If the paper gets stuck in the paper path to the platen, it may be that the leading
edge of the paper is not straight or clean, and needs to be trimmed. Remove the
initial 2 cm (1 in) from the roll and try again. This may be necessary even with a
new roll of paper.
●
Check that the spindle is correctly inserted. The blue spindle lever on the right
should be in the horizontal position.
●
Check that the paper is correctly loaded on the spindle, and that it loads over the
roll towards you.
●
Check that the paper is wound tightly on the roll.
Sheets
●
Check that the leading edge of the sheet is aligned with the cutter channel in the
platen.
●
Do not use hand-cut sheets, which may be of irregular shapes. Use only
purchased sheets.
Here is a list of front panel messages related to paper loading, with the suggested
