2.5 Replacing the Thermal Printer Paper
The roll of thermal paper is housed inside a dispenser underneath the printer cover. To replace
the paper, follow the steps below:
• Unscrew the two large printer cover screws and remove the printer cover.
• Remove the leftover thermal paper roll from the paper holder.
• Unroll the new thermal paper roll.
• Feed the thermal paper into the slot between the paper pocket and the rubber roller.
The printer will automatically pull the paper under the thermal head.
• Place the paper roll into the paper holder.
• Lift the thermal head and align the thermal paper if necessary.
• Re-install the printer cover.
NOTE
Thermal paper has a chemical coating on one side of the paper. This side should be
facing the thermal print head. Incorrect paper loading may result in blank output on
the thermal paper.
The thermal paper will show a red stripe to indicate that the roll is about to run out
of paper.
