# Installing the Printer Paper

### Installing the Printer Paper

If the supplied roll of printer paper was not already installed in the terminal when you received it, you will need to install it before you can print any transaction receipts.

TIP: This procedure also applies to replacing a roll of printer paper.
{% endhint %}

#### **To install the printer paper:**

1. On the back of the terminal at the top, lift the lever with the contactless logo to unlock and open the printer cover.

{% hint style="info" %}
NOTE: The printer cover opens on a hinge, it does not come off the terminal.
{% endhint %}

2. Place the roll of printer paper in the paper tray, leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) of paper beyond the printer's cutter as shown in the following example:

{% hint style="warning" %}
IMPORTANT! Make sure the paper unrolls from the back of the roll, otherwise the printer will be unable to print the transaction receipt.
{% endhint %}

3. Close the printer cover until it snaps into place and remove any excess paper.
