3.1.2Fan-Fold Media

This loading method is for tag and fan-fold type media applications. To load:

nBring the media in through the Bottom or the Rear Media Slot. (If using reflective stock, ensure that the mark is facedown.)

oDepending upon the entry point, route the media as shown: if through the Rear Media Slot, route the media over the Media Hub; or, if through the Bottom Media Slot, route the media over the Media Rewind Hub.

pContinue routing the media under the Media Idler, through the Media Sensor and out the front of the printer.

qRaise and slide the Media Guide over until it rests lightly against the edge of the media.

rPosition the Media Sensor; see Section 3.2.

sIf your application uses thermal transfer media, load ribbon (see Section 3.3); otherwise continue.

tLower the Printhead Assembly and rotate the Printhead Latch completely back into the locked position. Close the Access Cover.

uTurn ‘On’ the printer. After ‘Ready is displayed, press and hold the FEED Key until at least one label gap or mark is advanced; see Section 3.4.
