10-18 Troubleshooting
❏ If the paper is wrinkled when it comes out, it may be damp 
or too thin. Load a new stack.
Note:
Store any unused paper in its original packaging in a dry area. See 
“Paper” on page A-1 for specifications.
Paper does not feed correctly when using roll 
paper
If roll paper does not feed correctly, try the following:
❏ Make sure the end of the roll is cut perpendicularly to the 
edges. If it is cut on a diagonal, the paper may not feed 
smoothly. Always use a triangle or other tool to ensure that 
the end of the roll is cut perpendicularly.
❏ Make sure the paper is not curled. If the paper is curled, the 
paper may not feed smoothly. Flatten it before loading to 
avoid paper-feeding problems. To uncurl the paper, roll the 
paper inside the protective film packaged with the printer in 
the direction opposite to the paper’s curl. It is enough to flatten 
the paper by 100 mm. It is not necessary to uncurl the whole 
roll.
❏ Be sure to hold the paper in place with your hand when 
feeding it into the printer. To load the paper correctly, you 
must hold the paper in place with your hand while you press 
the 
z
 roll paper button.
❏ Make sure the paper support is removed and the output tray 
extension is closed. When using roll paper, you must remove 
the paper support and shorten the output tray extension (the 
second and third trays should be closed).
❏ Confirm that Roll Paper is selected as the Paper Source setting 
in the printer software. If Roll Paper is not selected, paper will 
feed unnecessarily after each print job.
