Common questions

Why is my receipt printing blank?

If the roll is not properly inserted, your receipt will print blank. Open the printer lid and re-insert the roll so the loose end unrolls from the bottom of the roll toward the back of the terminal.

Do I need to take out the old roll first?

Yes. If you’re replacing a roll, remove the old core (what is left of the old roll) before you put the new roll in.

Where does the paper go when I close the lid?

Over the top of the lid, not on top of the screen. Leave about 2.5 cm of paper sticking out when you close it.
