You can load roll paper with a 2- or 3-inch core and a width of up to 24 inches (61 cm) (SC-P6000/SC- P7000) or 44 inches (112 cm) (SC-P8000/SC-P9000).

- Firmly push down the lock lever on the roll paper holder and move the holder to the left.
Note: Make sure you push the lock lever all the way down to unlock it completely. - Place the roll paper on top of the printer.

- If the load paper light is not on, press the load paper button.
- Insert the paper into the paper feed slot and pull it down until the edge of the paper is even with the center of the stand.
Note: If the paper does not feed through the slot, you may need to decrease the suction by pressing the paper feed button. Make sure you return the suction to its default setting after the paper is loaded. - Close the roll paper cover.
Note: To prevent dust from accumulating inside the printer, always keep the roll paper cover closed unless you are loading or unloading media. - Press the load paper button.

Press the paper cut button once within 3 seconds of pressing the load paper button to trim the edge of the roll paper. - Press the pause/cancel button to move the paper into printing position or wait for the paper to move into position automatically.
- On the screen that appears, select one of the following settings:
• If the paper settings are correct, select Keep Settings Above.
• Select Change Settings so you can adjust the settings. - Press the OK button.
To avoid indenting or creasing the paper, remove it from the paper path and roll it up when you are not printing.
Note: Store roll paper on its end or horizontally (if the packaging end-caps are installed). Never store roll paper on its edge, as a flat spot can develop and lead to imaging artifacts on the prints.
