[GreenKeys] M15 paper path

[Duncan Brown]

Eric,

Hard to tell what is going on from your pictures. I don't know what that 
metal bar you are talking about is, but the paper should be free after 
it leaves the platen, and you just tear it off against the glass.  The 
glass edge should be beveled to provide a sharp edge.  There are also 
two arms that hold the paper to the platen. one on each side. They don't 
look right in your "paper2" photo.  In that photo, you should be able to 
tear the paper off by just pulling it down against the glass.
