Some old models of CP printers show a little glitch of running out of ink before paper runs out. Before it starts printing, a printer tries to find the beginning of a new section in the ink cartridge. If it misses this, the printer would feed forward the entire section, wasting that section unused. The first thing you can do to avoid this is to keep your printer on. This problem often happens at your first print after you turn on the printer. If the printer has been off, take out the ink cartridge and rewind a film a little before you put it back. If you don't see two black lines and you are in a clear section, that should be enough. You can rewind the film by turning a film spool in the smaller compartment counter-clockwise. To do so, you need to push in both film spools a little. The film should go in the opposite direction as to when you take out a slack. If the ink reaches the end before you use up paper, rewind the film until you find an unused section. Holding the film onto a white background helps you to find an unused section. Keep rewinding until you pass an unused yellow section and two black lines and until you are in a previously used clear section. The back of a hexagonal pencil is very useful for this. Hope these tips will help you to get great printouts out of your CP printer the most efficiently.
