Caution:
Use the knob on the right side of the printer only to clear paper
jams when the printer is off. Otherwise, you may damage the
printer or cause it to lose the top-of-form position.
If the platen turns but the printer doesn’t load the paper,
completely remove the paper and re-insert it more firmly.
To eject the paper, press the LOAD/EJECT button.
