How Do I Load a Roll of Paper (continued)
...continued from previous page...
7. Rewind any excess paper so that the paper is rolled tightly onto the spindle.
8. Insert the leading edge of the paper 
into the lower slot in the rear of the 
printer. Push the paper in until it 
encounters resistance, keeping the 
sides of the paper rolled tightly so 
that the paper is not skewed.
9. After emitting a ‘beep’, the printer 
will take up the paper.
10.The printer will check the alignment 
of the paper.
If the paper is properly aligned, the roll icon will appear on the display, 
indicating that the printer is ready to print.
If the paper is misaligned, the printer will eject the paper and the display 
will show the misaligned and roll icons; you will have to reload the paper.
Repeat Step 7, so that the paper is tightly rolled onto the spindle.

EnglishHow Do I Unload a Roll of Paper?
This section is only relevant if your printer has the Automatic Roll Feed installed.
Important:Do not pull on the roll of paper once it is taken up by the 
printer, that is, if there is any resistance.
There are two ways of unloading a roll of paper:
If you want to unload the roll in order to feed a single sheet through the printer, 
press the Cancel and OK keys on the front panel at the same time (see below). 
If you later request printing to the roll, the Automatic Roll Feed will then 
automatically reload the roll.
If you want to unload the roll in order to completely remove it (for example, you 
no longer wish to use this roll of paper):
1. Push the Eject button on the left roll feed support at the rear of the printer. 
Avoid pressing the Eject button several times, as this can damage the paper. 
2. Pull the roll towards you and remove the paper completely from the rear 
paper path of the printer. The icons shown below will flash until the paper is 
completely out, because if the paper is only partially removed, paper jams 
may subsequently occur. Sometimes the paper may fall away from the rear 
path by itself.
You do not need to remove the spindle from its supports in the printer.

How Do I Print on Large Sheets?
The printer output system has several adjustable components. When printing on 
large sheets of paper, it is important that you use the correct printer output 
configuration. The following diagram shows the adjustable parts of the printer 
output system:
The table on the next page gives the output system configuration required for 
various paper sizes.
Note the following:
 When using the main tray or roll feedback as source, make the necessary 
adjustments to the output system to enable output to be stacked.
 If the output tray already has prints stacked in it and you want to print from 
the roll feed, empty the output tray and adjust it as necessary before 
printing.

EnglishHow do I Clean a Printhead?
If a printhead fails or needs attention, the corresponding icon on the front panel 
will flash.
Make sure the printhead is correctly seated. If this is not the problem, the most 
likely cause of failure is that the printhead contacts need to be cleaned. You will 
need the following cleaning materials:
 Clean, soft, lint-free material that will not come apart or leave fibres when 
damp (a coffee filter, for example)
 Distilled or filtered water
Paper towels
Make sure the printer is powered on, then do the following:
1. Open the front hinged flap at the right of the printer.
2. Open the second (back) part of the flap and lift it back fully. The print 
carriage will move to the left and then back to the right. Wait for it to stop. 
When the carriage has stopped moving, unplug the power cable from the 
printer.
3. Pull the printhead cover up and towards you, so that the hook at the front 
unlatches itself, and then push the whole cover back so that the printheads 
are exposed. 
4. Remove the failed printhead by lifting the small handle at the top front and 
using it to pull the printhead vertically up and out of the printer.

contacts until they are clean.
8. Place the printhead on a paper towel and leave it to dry for at least five 
minutes.
9. While the printhead is drying, clean the contacts inside the carriage is the 
same way.
10.When both the printhead and the contacts inside the carriage are dry, re-
insert the printhead by lowering it into place and return the small handle to 
its lower position. Press down firmly and evenly on both the front and the 
back of the printhead to make sure it is correctly seated.

11.Push the printhead gently into place, so that it is secure.
12.Pull the printhead cover towards you, ensuring that the hook at its front edge 
latches onto the tab, and then push it away from you to close the cover.
13.Plug in the printer power cable.
14.Close the rear part and then the front part of the outer flap. Note that after 
closing the flap, the printer will automatically perform some internal 
calibrations on the printhead, and then an alignment check. There must be 
paper in the tray during alignment (you can use your least expensive paper). 
Pre-alignment calibrations may take some time, especially if multiple 
printheads have been removed and re-inserted. Check that the alignment 
print has a tick on it.
15.Check that the printhead icon on the front panel is no longer flashing. The 
printhead has been re-inserted successfully.
