VI. LOADING AND CHANGING THE PAPER
Before you put in a new roll of paper, look at the way the paper is in the machine now.
Notice that the paper comes off the BOTTOM of the roll and up behind the print head.
To load more paper:
1. Remove the paper cover by pushing it toward the rear of
the unit and lifting up. See Figure 5.1. Be sure to remove
and save the paper roll spindle that is inside the paper roll
you are removing; you will need it later.
2. Cut or tear the paper as show in Figure 5.2 to separate the
paper roll from the paper in the machine.
3. To remove the paper remaining in the printer, press the
[RETURN] key several times until the paper comes out at
the top of the printer.
4. Cut paper, at least 2 1/2”, at the end of the new roll into
a point or “V” shape:
Place the paper roll spindle
that you removed in Step 1
into the hole in the center of
the paper roll.
2 1/2”
5. Insert the new paper roll by feeding the paper into the
well. Be sure that paper feeds from the BOTTOM of the roll.
See Figure 5.3.
6. Using the [RETURN] key, feed the paper until it comes up
behind the print head. Continue feeding until the paper
comes up through the paper cutting window, as shown in
Figure 5.4.
7. Place the roll of paper in the paper well and replace the plastic cover on the machine.
Please Note:
• The Porta Printer does not use any ink or ribbon. Instead it uses special paper that prints using heat.
This paper is called “thermal printing paper.” Your PortaPrinter will not work with any other kind
of paper.
• To insure that you receive the highest quality thermal printing paper, order from your local
Krown distributor.
• Your Porta Printer has the Multi-Wide Printing feature. Use only 2 1/4” paper. Please specify
“Type MW” paper when ordering.
