1. Open the printer's front
cover by lifting its bottom edge up and toward you.
2. Release the sprocket lock levers on both the right and left
sprocket units by pulling each lever.
3. Slide the left sprocket unit all the way to the left. Lock it
into place by pushing the sprocket lock lever up.
4. Now slide the right sprocket unit to approximately match the
width of your paper. (Do not lock it into place yet.)
5. Slide the two paper supports so that they are spaced evenly
between the sprocket units.
6. Open both sprocket covers.
7. Be sure your paper has a clean, straight edge, and then fit
the first five holes in the paper over the pins of the sprocket
units as shown below. The side of the paper that you want to
print on should be facing you. Now close the sprocket covers.
8. Slide the right sprocket unit so that the paper is straight
and has no wrinkles. Lock the sprocket unit in place by pushing
the sprocket lock lever up.
9. Close the printer's front cover.
10. Turn on the printer. The print head moves to the middle of
the printer and the POWER and PAPER OUT light come on. Also,
either the front or rear tractor arrow on the PAPER SELECT
indicator lights up.
11. Press the LINE FEED/LOAD button to load your paper. (IF the
paper does not load, the front tractor may not be selected. Press
the FRONT/REAR button to select the front tractor. This loads the
paper automatically.)
12. After the paper loads, turn off the printer.
