Clearing Paper Jams
In the unlikely event that you experience paper jams while using
either continuous-form
paper or single sheets, the following
guidelines explain in detail the correct procedure for
th e removal
and resetting of the jammed paper.
1. Turn the printer OFF.
2. Open the access cover and set the head gap le ve r to the
maximum setting
9.
3. Tear the paper off at the position of the push/pull tractor if you
are using continuous form paper.
4. If paper is jammed at the ribbon protector, move the printhead
assembly
away from the jam carefully (ensure that there is no
paper between the ribbon protector and the platen) and turn
the platen knob to feed the remaining paper out of the front of
the printer.
If the paper jam occurs before the ribbon protector,
turn the platen knob so that the paper retracts along its loading
path.
5. Clear the paper path and ensure that there are no scraps of
paper left in the paper's loading path or the printer.
6. Reset the head gap lever to the required position.
7. The printer is now ready for use.
Warning: Do not remove or loosen the ribbon protector screws at any time, as
the protector is fixed at a precise setting.
