Loading Rolls on the Roll Holder

When printing on roll paper, attach the roll paper to the Roll Holder.

Roll paper comes in two types: 2-inch and 3-inch cores. If using 3-inch core roll paper, attach the 3-Inch Paper Core Attachment to the Roll Holder and holder stopper.

Check whether your holder stopper is Type X or Y.

Caution

Set the roll on its side on a table or other flat surface so that it does not roll or fall. Rolls are heavy, and dropping a roll may cause injury.

Important

When handling the roll, be careful not to soil the printing surface. This may affect the printing quality. We recommend wearing clean cloth gloves when handling rolls to protect the printing surface.
Cut the edge of the roll paper if it is uneven, dirty, or has tape residue. Otherwise, it may cause feeding problems and affect the printing quality. Be careful not to cut through any barcodes printed on the roll.
Align the edges of the paper on both ends of the roll. This may cause feeding problems.

Note

For details on roll paper sizes and types that can be used, see "Paper Sizes" or "Paper Information List".
