To load paper into the Canon Palm Printer P1-DH V, first, make sure the power is off. Next, lift the printer cover and position the roll of paper so that it unwinds from the bottom. Insert the leading edge of the paper into the paper slot, then press the feed button until the paper is aligned properly. Close the printer cover and turn the power on to begin printing.
I just successfully completed the task of loading paper into the canon palm printer p1-dh v. My problem was that the paper was not being grabbed by the "Feed" button. Where I was guiding the paper, after feeding the paper through the back of the machine (the slot is located on the outside of the back of the machine), the paper naturally wanted to enter underneath the black plastic plate where it would end up underneath the entire printing mechanism. As the instructions indicate, the paper does not actually feed "under the black plastic plate", it should feed through it. There are two rectangular silver tabs, one on each side of the proper paper entry slot. I cut the paper at a very slight angle (edit:actually, if you cut it into a truncated triangle, it's even easier!) and finally found the magic entry point. Because the machine is so tiny, that entry slot is almost invisible, except for those two silver tabs. After you manage to insert the end of the angled cut through the "invisible slot" be sure the entire edge of the paper actually enters the slot so that when you push the "Feed" button, the paper is grabbed and fished through evenly. (edit: If the paper cannot be advanced by the "Feed" button, remove the plastic cover by pushing it toward the direction of the arrows on the left side which are embossed directly on the clear plastic cover and pull the paper manually. When reinstalling the cover put the front end in first, make sure the entire cover is flat to the printer case, then push the front slightly toward the back and finally slide the cover forward until it is seated). Hope this helps somebody! (edit: It sure did!) I found that folding the end of the paper into an arrow and then watching the feed button rotate, I could then easily see where the paper should be inserted. With it folded like that, it went in like a hot knife in butter.
Your answer did the trick for me! I have also found it easier to store the paper inside the machine, using the arm only when printouts get really long, just to prevent accidentally entering the back slot. Works much better than having the roll fall off and unravel.
I found a washer about an inch in diameter with the hole in the middle just large (or small) enough to fit over the paper arm. It holds the roll on and since it has to be tilted to fit on the arm it wont fall off while handling the printer. BTW...your solution kept me from trashing this great little printing calculator.
* P1-DH V *Take of the top "cover", to allow access to the paper loading area. *Put the roll of paper on the arm, paper roll facing your chest, so the paper is going away from you, towards the keypad. *The paper should roll from the top (not under the paper arm). Slide paper down into calcuator. Find the notches on either side of the calculator, and align the paper in slots. *With the machine turned on, push the "feed" button. Paper will glide through and come out on the side facing the key pad. *Re attach the cover, feeding the paper through the cover slot.
