2.3 Paper Installation
2.3.1 Paper Loading
POS801 adopts 79.5mm±0.5mm width thermal paper roll.
Steps of Loading Thermal Paper are as below:
Hold down the upper cover button on the left side, open the movable upper
cover, draw a certain length of the paper roll, put the paper end on the print
head, close the upper cover and press it downwards lightly.
1.Pay attention to the direction of loading paper,make
