Loading Roll Media

MOVIE

When you load media, you must place the roll on the media hangers and then adjust the media guides.

You must use the correct media for the type of printing you require. You must use direct thermal media.

Placing the Roll in the Media Compartment

Whether your roll media is inside or

outside wound you load it into the printer

the same way.

MOVIE

 

1.

Open the printer. Remember that you

 

need to pull the release levers toward

 

the front of the printer.

2.

Remove the outside length of media.

 

During shipment, the roll may become

 

dirty when handled or dusty when

 

stored. Removing the outside length

 

avoids dragging adhesive or dirty

 

media between the print head and

 

platen.

3.

Separate and hold open the media

 

hangers.

4.

Orient the media roll so that its

 

printing surface will be up as it passes

 

over the platen.

5.

Lower the roll between the hangers

 

and close them onto the core.
