Cleaning the printing mechanism

If the print becomes dull after long time usage, clean the printing wheel according to the following procedures: 1) Remove the printer cover and the ink roller. 2) Install the paper roll and feed it until it comes out of the front of the printing mechanism. 3) Put a small brush (like a tooth brush) lightly to the printing wheel and clean it by pressing . 4) Put back the ink roller and the printer cover. Fig. 1

Notes: • Never attempt to turn the printing belt or restrict its movement while printing. This may cause incorrect printing.

• Do not rotate the printing mechanism manually, this may damage the printer.

PAPER ROLL REPLACEMENT Never insert paper roll if torn. Doing so will cause paper to jam. Always cut leading edge with scissors first.

♦ When using the paper roll that is less than or equals to 25 mm (31/32") in outside diameter:

Paper roll : Type EA-7100P STEP 1

Note: Paper tape replacement rolls are available where the EL-1611P calculator is sold.

♦ When using the paper roll that is 12mm (15/32") in inside diameter and up to 80mm (3-5/32") in outside diameter:

Caution: • Never use the supplied paper (25 mm (31/32") in outside diameter) in the holder.

• When replacing the paper, touching the inside of the printer may damage it. • The calculator has a free-paper mechanism. When drawing out the paper tape, pull it straight forward on the paper cutter side. STEP 5 6

POWER SUPPLY This calculator operates on dry batteries.

The calculator can also be operated on AC power through use of an AC adaptor. BATTERY OPERATION If the display becomes dim or the printer stops before or during printing, the batteries should be replaced. Battery: Heavy-duty manganese battery, size AA (or R6) × 4 1. Turn off power by pressing . 2. Remove the battery cover by sliding it in the direction of the arrow on the cover. 3. Replace the batteries.
