Finding your
cash register tape out of paper can become a real dilema when not knowing what your doing, especially if there is a long line of customers waiting to get attended. One simple way of avoiding this scenario is by learning the easy steps on how to change a roll of paper on your cash register. (although some models differ slightly this is the basic way on changing a roll of paper on a cash register)
1. Pop open the cover on the part of the register covering the paper tape. Cut the paper as close as possible to the reel, then feed the remaining loose paper sticking out of the receipt slot.
2. Lift the platen arm or any hatch holding the paper. Remove the entire reel if necessary with the old roll still attached to it. Slide the old roll of paper off the reel and throw it away or save as scrap paper.
3. Locate the edge of the new paper and remove any tape that may be holding it. Put the new roll of paper on the reel. Replace the reel in the register.
4. Close the platen arm or any hatch that holds the tape down. Pull the edge of the paper up and through the receipt slot just enough to close it on the receipt paper.
5. Press the button on the register to feed the paper and make sure the new tape roll works. (If it doesn't it may be on the wrong side so follow the first steps to take it out and turn it over and try again.)
6. Finally close the cover of the register and your done.
