2Printer Operation
Setting the Media
4.Set the media roll and media holder in to the printer as shown above. It is advisable to pull a length of media forwards and through the mechanism ready for later positioning.
5.Move the media roll so it is touching the left side of the housing. Then slide the black movable media guide so it is touching the
media on the right side.
Note: Do not try to hold the media too tightly with these guides as it will cause the printer to jam during printing.
6.Align the media with the left fixed media guide (2 locations), align the right movable media guide with the media width, and lower the sensor arm which loosely holds the media in position.

Align it with the width of the media that has been set, then set the media width adjustment screw and the media thickness adjustment knob. See “Chapter 3 Printer Adjustments”.
