Training

☐ After loading a new roll of material, be sure the roll spins freely. (Be sure it doesn't rub against the printer.)
☐ Use the small power button on the front, lower left of the printer for an "Emergency Stop", if necessary.
☐ Otherwise, to clear the printer, cycle the power using the power switch in the back, next to the power cord.
