Removing and Storing Roll Paper When you finish a print job on roll paper, you can position the paper for another print job or remove it from the printer. Follow these steps: 1. Press the z roll paper button. The printer prints a small line on the roll paper to show you where to cut it and feeds the paper forward. 2. If you want to continue printing on roll paper, press the z roll paper button again; the paper feeds back into the printer. Then send the next print job; the paper will move into the correct loading position before printing. If you're finished printing on roll paper, follow the rest of the steps to remove it. Roll paper button 3. Cut the roll paper on the side of the line facing away from the printer. Make your cut as straight as possible to avoid feeding problems. 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 unused roll to its original package. Store your printout in a resealable plastic bag. Keep both printed and unused roll paper away from high temperatures and humidity and out of direct sunlight. Note: After you rewind the roll paper, the b maintenance light remains on. You must press the b maintenance button to turn the light off before you can resume printing. 14
