Loading Supplies
Chapter 2
• Close the paper door while pressing the paper door release button.
• Let go of the paper door release button and press the printer door closed.
• Press the power button, and test the paper advance function by pressing the paper
feed button. Verify the paper advances correctly.
NOTE: To prevent any possible damage to the print-head mechanism, it is important to verify that the paper
has not been fastened to the inside core in any way. The paper should be wound on the core in such a way
that the end of the paper will unwind freely from the core. If fastened by tape or glue, the core will be pulled
into the mechanism causing jamming and possible gear damage.
Tearing Paper
The printer’s paper door acts as a tear bar. Pull one edge of the paper against the tear
bar as indicated, then pull down and across against the tear bar to rip the paper.
The tear bar may have sharp edges
NOTE: Using the tear bar is the only way to rip the paper. Pulling up and sideways without using the
tear bar can cause a paper jam due to paper misalignment in the print-head mechanism.
Adding Paper
The printer can print text, bar codes and graphics on thermal receipt paper. See
“Supply Specifications” on page 32 for the width, thickness requirements and approved
vendors. Follow these steps to load printer paper:
• Press the paper door release button, (the door will open slightly) and open the rest
of the way as shown below.
• Grip either side of the paper door and open (it will open to 180 degrees).
NOTE: The paper door release button must be depressed when opening and closing the paper door.
• Place the paper roll in the paper supply well. Please make sure the paper supply
unwinds from the bottom with the thermal side closest to the print-head.
• Unroll about three inches of paper, and position the paper between the print-head
guides.
NOTE: Pull the paper roll leader out of the MP200. Note the direction of travel.
