Remove the initial 2 cm (1 in) of paper from the roll and try again. This might be necessary even with a new roll of paper. ● Make sure that the spindle is correctly inserted. ● Make sure that the paper is correctly loaded on the spindle, and that it loads over the roll towards you. ● Verify that the paper is wound tightly on the roll.
