5 PAPER AND RIBBONS
The CP80 is normally supplied with a separate paper roll and fitted with a black ribbon.
Paper rolls must be 57.5 ±0.5mm, and of maximum diameter 60mm.
Alternative paper roll sizes, alternative paper roll types (e.g. two-part paper, ‘action’ paper, etc) and
commodity packs, containing several standard paper rolls and ribbons, are all available.
5.1 LOADING
PAPER
A paper roll is normally supplied separately to avoid unrolling or damage in transit.
To load a new roll of paper:
Discard a few turns of paper in case they have been damaged or have glue on
Mount the roll between the bosses in the paper holder area: the right-hand boss is on a
sprung support. The paper should flow from the bottom of the roll
Prepare the end of the paper into a clean edge at right-angles, and introduce into the rear
of the mechanism while pressing the paper feed button: the target point is just above a
bright metal strip. The paper should be straight, and pointing forwards into the printer
Once the mechanism grips the paper, allow enough to feed through for good alignment,
thread the paper through the exit slot and close the lid.
Check that it still advances properly, and tear off any excess by pulling the paper sharply
towards you across the serrated edges.
5.2 PAPER
LOW SENSOR
A mechanical/optical paper sensor acts on the left-hand face of the paper roll, and is activated when
only a few metres of paper remain. When this sensor becomes active, the LED indicates solid
orange (see section ‘6.1 ALTERNATIVE LED PATTERN SET’).
To avoid spurious 'paper low' reports, ensure that the roll is correctly located on the bosses, and that
the right-hand paper support has returned to the vertical position. A foam pad is fitted behind the
right-hand support on some models to maintain the correct pressure.
