Replacing the Paper Roll

📸 ANNOTATED PHOTOPrinter cover open — showing roll slot, paper direction indicator, and correct paper orientation (glossy/smooth side facing up toward the print head)

  1. 1Locate the printer at the top-back of the terminal. Press or pull the paper cover release (a small lever or button on the printer cover).
    Printer cover pops open.
  2. 2Remove any remaining paper roll or empty cardboard core.
    Printer slot is empty and clear.
  3. 3Take a new 57mm thermal paper roll. Find the loose end of the paper — run your thumbnail along it; the smooth/slightly glossy side is the print side.
    Print side identified.
  4. 4Insert the roll with the loose end feeding from the bottom of the roll, over the top and outward through the paper slot. The glossy/smooth side must face toward the print head (toward the front of the terminal).
    Paper feeds correctly through the slot.
  5. 5Pull out approximately 3 cm of paper, then close the printer cover firmly until it clicks.
    Cover is secure. Paper tail is visible above the cover edge.
  6. 6Tear off the excess paper against the cover edge.
    Printer ready. Process a test transaction to verify the receipt prints correctly.
Only use 57mm thermal paper. Using regular inkjet or laser paper will produce blank receipts and may damage the print head. Never use carbon-coated or recycled paper rolls.
