• Be careful not to soil the printing surface of roll paper as you insert it in the slot. This may affect •
the printing quality. We recommend wearing clean cloth gloves when handling rolls to protect the
printing surface.
• If the paper is wrinkled or warped, straighten it out before loading it. •
• Load the roll so that there is no gap between the right edge of the paper and the Roll Holder. •
• Depending on the paper, the roll paper may be scratched when being fed and not feed well. In •
this case, you must feed the paper manually after setting Paper retention settings to Release on
the touch screen. Lift the release lever, advance the roll paper until its leading edge appears on
platen, lower the release lever, and then proceed to the next step. However, if
