52 FONIX FP35 Hearing Aid Analyzer
Note: With the RS232 Option, you can use a computer to store your own label
and graphic logo in the FP35. A program called “Set Label,” available in the
“download” section of our website www.frye.com, will help you change your
analyzer’s label.
The internal printer of the FP35 uses high quality thermal paper. This section
will show you how to change the paper, fix any paper jams, and minimize the
fading of the thermal printout.
2.6.3 Changing the Thermal Paper
To change or refill the printer paper:
1. Remove the printer door by pulling up on the notch at its top.
2. Remove the empty spool or the roll of paper. You are likely to feel some
resistance as you pull it upward. If you are removing a full roll of paper, see
Figure 2.6.3B.
3. Do not pull the paper backward out of the printer. Instead, cut or tear the
end off the spool of paper and pull it through the printer in the direction it
is meant to feed. Taking this step will help avoid unnecessary wear on the
printer.
4. Remove the plastic rod from the empty spool or the roll of paper.
5. Place a new roll of paper on the plastic rod.
6. Cut the paper into a point. This will make it easier to thread into the printer.
7. Thread the paper, shiny-side-down, into the slot at the lower, front of the
printer cavity until it comes out the top.
Note: It is possible to feed the paper below the slot, in which case printing
will not work. After you have threaded the paper, press and hold [PRINT/
FEED] to make sure the paper feeds properly. See Figure 2.6.3A.
8. Set the plastic rod (with the paper roll still on it) into the slots in the printer
cavity, and replace the printer door, so that the paper feeds through the
opening.
