MAINTENANCE

General: Keep the printer and its connections clean. Close the carrying case when the printer is not being used. If the
sprayer will not be used for some time, remove the TASC Printer Module and store it indoors (be sure to replace the dust
cover on the Serial I/O Port on the back of the TASC Control Console if the printer is not plugged in).

Replacing the printer paper: A red border on the paper tape used in the printer indicates it is time to change to a fresh roll
of paper.
To remove the old roll before it has run completely out, first use the "Paper Feed" switch to advance the paper about one
inch beyond the paper cutter. Turn the printer "OFF". Remove the clear plastic cover over the paper roll by lifting it
straight up. Lift the exposed paper roll away from the printer housing and, with a scissor, cut the paper feeding into the
printer. Pull the paper remnant in the printer through the printer mechanism in the forward direction. Be sure to pull the
paper from the front (paper cutter side). WARNING! Pulling the paper out the back of the printer will damage the print
mechanism.

To insert a new paper roll proceed as follows:

a. Be sure the printer power switch is "OFF". Remove the print compartment cover by pushing down on the

grooved areas on either side of the paper cutter. Now remove the ribbon cartridge by pushing down on the right edge of
the cartridge until it pops out of place and gently slide it up and over the paper. Set the cartridge aside if it is to be used
again.

b. Unroll several inches of paper from the new roll and trim to a straight edge to facilitate the entry of the end of

the paper into the printer.

c. Slide the paper through the slot connecting the paper compartment and the printer compartment. The paper

should slide in about one-quarter inch before it stops.

d. Turn the printer power switch "ON" and wait a few seconds.

e. While holding the paper in place, press the power switch to the "Paper Feed" position. The printer will

activate and a rubber roller will pull the paper into the printer compartment. Hold the switch in the "Paper Feed" position
until the paper emerges from the top of the printer, then release the switch.
