Note: 
Avoid touching the surface of your paper or canvas media.
With canvas media that you have previously loaded, it’s a good idea to cut the edge 
straight each time you reload it.
6. Insert the left roll paper holder (marked with a down orange triangle) into the 
far left slot on the back of the printer (marked with a right orange triangle). 
Then insert the right roll paper holder in the corresponding slot on the right.
7. Feed the end of the paper into the roll paper feeder, 
located behind the roll and marked with the 
Mroll 
paper icon.
8. Slide the roll paper edge guide against the right side 
of the paper, but not too tightly.
Caution: 
Do not load roll paper or canvas media into the manual 
feed slot (marked with up orange triangles).
9. Guide the paper into the slot and hold it for a few seconds until the printer 
feeds in the paper automatically.
Note: 
When loading canvas media, leave two to three inches of slack in the roll as it feeds 
and prints for the best results. If you have trouble feeding canvas media, check that 
the edge is straight and reload it, making sure to keep the roll slack.

10. Open the printer cover and look into the 
printer to make sure the roll paper or canvas 
media is feeding straight. The paper must feed 
straight so the printer can properly identify the 
edge of it.

may receive a paper jam error when you print.

excess slack. (Leave two to three inches of slack on canvas media.)
12. Close the printer cover and do not open it during printing.
Removing Roll Paper Prints and Roll Paper
1. To remove your roll paper or canvas media prints, press the Mroll paper 
button to feed the paper forward, then cut off your printed photos straight 
across the paper at the cutting guideline.
Caution: 
Do not pull on the paper as you cut it to avoid damaging your printout. Also do not 
cut the paper too close to the printer to avoid paper feeding problems.
2. To continue printing on roll paper or canvas media, press the Mroll paper 
button again to return the paper to printing position.
3. If you are finished printing on roll paper or canvas media, press the 
Mroll 
paper button for three seconds to feed the paper backwards and out of the 
printer. If it does not feed all the way out, press the 
Mroll paper button again.
4. Turn the knobs on the roll paper holders backward to roll up the paper, then 
remove the paper and holders from the printer.
5. Press the 
Ipaper button to stop the Ipaper light from flashing.
