Changing the paper can be finicky and take more than one try.

To remove the existing paper roll:

1. Lift the blue lever on the top left (facing) the machine.  This releases the paper.
2. From the back of the machine, roll the paper back until it is removed from the feed slot.   The plotter will then recognize that it doesn't have paper.
3. You can then lift the roll and bar, starting with the right side, followed by the left side.
4. Pull the blue plastic endcap off the paper roll.  
5. Remove the paper roll from the feed bar.

Loading a new roll:

1. Put the new paper roll onto the bar.
2. Push the blue plastic endcap on to the end of the bar so that it slots inside of the paper roll.
   1. Most rolls have a 2" core. If you are using a 3" core paper, there are adapters near the ink on the left side (facing front) of the plotter.
3. Place the left side of the bar into the back of the plotter, followed by the right side (facing the back of the printer).
4. The paper should be setup so that the paper is exposed at the top of the roll - side view:
5. Feed the paper into the back of the printer slowly.  The printer will grab the paper and a dialogue will start on the LCD screen on the front of the unit. 
6. Once the paper loads, it will confirm the paper type. If you have put in a different type, make sure to select that paper from the list. It makes a big difference in performance and smearing of your print.
