5 LOADING PAPER

paper still left in the mechanism by pressing the paper feed

button - do not pull the paper out of the back of the

mechanism.

and check that the end of the paper is square. If the paper

end of the paper coming from the bottom of the roll.

4. Feed the paper into the back of the mechanism whilst
