54 Handling Paper and Other Media

Note: The spindle accommodates both 2-inch and 3-inch roll paper cores. To switch between different size cores, see page 53.

Avoid touching the printable surface of the paper as much as possible. Oils from your skin can affect print quality.

3.To adjust the tension on the spindle, slide the switch to H for high tension, or N for normal.

Switch to high tension when printing on fine art paper, cloth, or other media that weigh less than 100 g/sm. See your on-screen User’s Guide for a list of media that require the high tension setting.

Loading the Paper onto the Spindle

Follow these steps to attach the roll to the spindle:

1.Slide the black paper stop (flange) off the left end of the spindle.

2.Position the roll so the paper unwinds as shown, then slide the spindle into the roll. Make sure the gray paper stop at the right end of the spindle is firmly locked into the core and there is no gap between the paper and the paper stop.

3.Slide the black paper stop back onto the spindle and insert it into the end of the roll. Make sure it is firmly locked into the left end of the paper roll core.
