The printer is a receipt/journal dual station type thermal printer, and therefore it
does not require any type of ink ribbon or cartridge.
Lift the rear of the printer cover to remove. To re-install, hook the pawls on the
cabinet and close.
Caution: The paper cutter is mounted on the printer (receipt side). Be
careful not to cut yourself.
Print head release lever
The print head can be lifted by the green lever on the
right side of the printer. Pulling the lever forward lifts
up the print head. If the paper becomes jammed and
you need to move the head farther forward, you can
pull the lever even further toward you and proceed with
the removal of the jammed paper.
Do not attempt to remove the paper roll
with the head in the down position. This
may result in damage to the printer and
print head.
