Loading Roll 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.

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.
