Notes For Use
● Don't plug or unplug the interface cable,printer head cabe or power cable under the
state of power on,or else it will cause the damage of printer or control board.
● At any time,don’t take the wastepaper or other attached objects by hard things(such as
tweezers,blades and so on),in order to avoid the permanent damage to the printer head.
● After printing,if open the cover,don’t touch the printer head or motor case by hands, in
order to avoid scald caused by the high temperature of the metal.

2.2 Ribbon and Paper Installation
2.2.1 Ribbon Installation
Steps of ribbon installation are as below
（1）Open front cover
（2）Put the ribbon into printer head,turn the knob as the direction shown on it
for two~three circles..
（3）Close the front cover
2.2.2 Paper Installation
The installation steps of paper are as below:
(1)Living with your hands on both sides of the paper cover, open the paper
cover.
(2)Put paper into the paper holder(Keep the paper roll in a right direction)
(3)When the printer is on,put the paper into mouth of printer, it will automatic
feed .
(4)Turn off the paper cover, tear off the extra paper.
Notice
1. Attention to the loading direction of paper roll
2. Please do not use hand to make paper go forward or backward.
3. Keep printing head cleaning to avoid affecting printing quality.
2.2.3 Paper Jam and Cutter Stuck
If the cutter was stuck, switch off the power switch, and electricize again, the
cutter can be returned to the original place, then take out the paper. If by
electricizing again, cutter can't back, can open the front cover, show the cutter.
Move the plastic gears on the cutter hand, make cutter back.
