Installing Paper Tape

To ensure ease of installation, read the instructions

completely before installing a new paper roll. Then

follow the instructions step-by-step.

1. Tear off excess paper at the tear-off knife.

2. To remove cover, place thumbs on serrated

surfaces located on each side of the cover.

Pressing down with your thumbs, slide the top

cover toward the back of the calculator. Once

the cover has been pushed back approximately

1”, lift the cover off.

3. Lift up and remove old paper roll from the

paper roll holders. Tear off paper between the

used paper roll and the printer. Pull remaining

paper through the printer by continuously

lifting the leading edge (nearest display).

4. With the leading edge of the new paper roll,

feeding from the bottom, place the new roll

into position between the two flexible paper

roll holders.

5. Feed the paper into the rear of the printer

mechanism until it meets resistance

(approximately 1 to 1.5 inches). Depress the

paper advance button until the paper extends

several inches beyond the printer mechanism.

6. Feed the paper through the opening of the

tear-off knife and lay top cover flat on the

calculator leaving a 1” overhang at the back

of the top cover. Apply a firm downward
