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.
