1. SETTING UP
■First, remove the blue semi-transparent tape from all parts.
1-1. Loading the Paper Roll
Your printer accepts thermal roll paper 60mm ~ 82mm wide.
The procedure for loading a paper roll is as follows. The illustrations show the
TSP412 printer, however, the loading procedure for the TSP442 is the same.
1Switch off the printer’s power.
2Open the printer cover.
3Cutthetopedgeofthepaperstraight
across.Ifthepaperendissecuredto
the roll by a label or by tape, unroll
the paper one turn and cut away all
traces of adhesive. (Adhesive can
stick to the internal paper roller and
interfere with paper feeding.)
4Insert the paper-roll shaft into the
paper roll.
