			If the master roll is empty, first look for a new one in the low cabinet. If you can't find it, look for it near the ink or ask for it from tutors. Unwrap the roll and open the master roll drawer. Take the empty roll by releasing the blue handle and sliding out the remaining piece of the master sheet.

			If the ink cartridge is empty, you can switch it really easily. First of all, open the front door and twist the ink cartridge out by following the instructions. After that, look for a new full one (ask for the assistants where they are kept) and make sure it is the right colour. Twist the cap off and use it to close the empty cartridge. Put the new ink in the drum by locking it in place. That's it!

			If you see a warning which says "Full Master Drawer", that means that it needs to be emptied. To do so, open it by applying pressure on the blue handle, throw the masters away in the big paper bin and put the drawer back in place - you should hear a slight clicking noise.

			If the paper gets jammed from the backside, it might be because of the type of paper either being too thin or too thick.
			When feeding the paper to the riso machine, make sure that the back paper switch is in the right setting for the right type of paper. You can go to "link" to see how to set it up.

			In case the switch is in the right setting, just take out the paper and try to print again at a lower speed. To change the printing speed press... (ask Wilco)
