Open the paper clamp by raising on the lever to release
from the locking port and then Insert the paper end into
the clamping part, aligning the paper edges even and
parallel with the sides of the base. (Bending the paper
beforehand makes attachment easier). Once the paper is
in place, return the lever to its original position.

Repeat the same process for the other end of the base,
maintaining the proper paper tension.
After inserting the paper, make sure the clamping part
