17. FAQ’s
Q. How do I change the rolls in my InnoSealer Machine?
1. Load tape sticky side up - tape end hangs outside the casing
2. Paper travels through the paper channel into one of the wheel ports
3. Advance the wheel counter clockwise until the paper fits into one of
the ports
4. Close the machine
Note: The first seal is lost, as the tape must attach to the paper. You
have correctly fitted the new paper and tape roll if on the second
closing you have a tape and paper seal. If not, then retrace above
steps.
