8. Roll the paper into the printer until you feel resistance and the paper flexes slightly. When the
printer detects the paper, it feeds it in automatically.
TIP: If you close the roll cover too soon, the paper load will be cancelled. Wait until the front
panel asks you to close it.
9. If the leading edge of the paper has a barcode, the printer reads and then cuts off the barcode;
you should remove and discard the cut strip of paper.
10. If the leading edge of the paper has no barcode, the front panel asks you to select the paper
category and type.
TIP: If you have loaded a paper type whose name does not appear in the paper list, see The
paper type is not in the driver on page 175.
11. If the Printing paper info option is enabled, the front panel may ask you to specify the length
of the roll. See
Printing paper info on page 58.
12. The printer checks the alignment and measures the width, then the front panel asks you to close the
roll cover.
If the roll is not correctly aligned, follow the instructions on the front-panel display.
NOTE: If you have an unexpected issue at any stage of the paper loading process, see The paper
cannot be loaded successfully on page 173.
Unload a roll
Before unloading a roll, check whether there is paper on the roll or if the roll is out of paper, and follow
the appropriate procedure as described below.
Quick procedure with paper on the roll
If there is paper on the roll, just open the roll cover, and the roll is unloaded automatically.
NOTE: When the roll is unloaded in this way, no barcode is printed on it, so the printer will not know
the length of the roll when it is next loaded. See
Printing paper info on page 58.
NOTE: If you open the cover of roll 1 while a sheet is loaded, the sheet is also unloaded.
