Inserting Paper

To insert paper into the printer, follow these steps:

1. Make sure that a ribbon cassette is installed in the printer.

2. Turn on the printer. The POWER light comes on.

3. Press the RELEASE button. The RELEASE light comes on, which indicates that the printer is in the paper release mode. In the release mode, the paper can either be introduced or removed from the printer.

4. Insert the paper from either the front or the side, as shown in the illustration below. Insert the paper into the printer until it is stopped by the form stopper. The scored markings on the side of the printer can also be used to judge how far to insert paper.

5. Check the red PAPER OUT light. When you insert the paper correctly, the PAPER OUT light goes out. If the PAPER OUT light is still on, remove the paper and re-insert it.
