6. If the paper coming off the roll is curled too tightly, you can uncurl it. Locate the uncurling sheet that came in your printer box. Insert the end of the roll paper inside the uncurling sheet and roll it in the direction opposite to the paper’s curl. (This step is especially important with roll paper that is wider than 4 inches.) 7. Insert the tabs on the roll paper holders into the slots on the paper support adapter. As you face the front of the printer, insert the tab on the right roll

If the Roll Paper Jams or Feeds Incorrectly If the roll paper feeds incorrectly, do the following: 1. Press the z roll paper button for three seconds to rewind the paper. (You may have to do this more than once to rewind the paper completely.) If the paper is jammed and won’t rewind, turn the printer off. Then cut the roll at a point a few inches away from where it exits the printer. Make your cut as straight as possible to avoid further feeding problems. Gently pull the roll backward to rew

Note: Don’t pull on the paper as you cut it; you may damage your printout. It’s a good idea to use a ruler or straight edge to make sure the end of the roll paper is cut at right angles. A diagonal cut may cause paper feeding problems. 4. Hold down the z roll paper button for about three seconds. The roll paper feeds backward, so you can remove it from the sheet feeder. (You may need to repeat this step to back it all the way out.) 5. Remove the roll paper from the holder and return the unus
