LOADING FANFOLD PAPER

Fan-folded media is fed inward from the rear, via the rear housing cover (highlighted in yellow below), but is stacked as opposed to suspended. Ribbon can be wound in or wound out.

1.Place the fanfold media behind the printer with the printing surface up.

2.Carefully pull up the Fanfold-label Loading Slot from the back of the Top Cover.

3.Open the Top Cover by pressing on the cover release latch located on the right-hand side of the printer. This releases the cover and allows it to swing upward on the rear- mounted hinges.

4.With the Top Cover in the upright position, press the Paper Guide Release while adjusting the Paper Guides until they allow the media to fit between them. A millimeter scale is molded into the case to provide a guide when making the adjustment. The Paper Guides are center-justified and interact with each other so that each moves an equal dis- tance apart from each other.

5.Route the label material through the Sensor Assembly and over the Platen. See figure 3-4 for the label route.

6.Close the Top Cover.

7.After loading the label media, it is recommended that you run a Test Print to make sure the labels are correctly loaded and printed.
