The paper cover is designed to be opened if the cutter locks by pressing the
cover open lever. If this does not open the paper cover, use the following
procedure to clear the locked cutter.

Press the front cover release button with a pointed object, such as a pen, and open
the front cover in the direction of arrow A.

Lift the protective sheet and turn the cutter gear in the direction of arrow B to return
the auto cutter to a position where the paper cover can be opened.

direction of arrow B, turn it in the other direction.

Pull the cover open lever forward and open the paper cover.
