HP 0706124 REV B manual Load and secure the other collet against end of media roll, Loading Media

4.Load and secure the other collet against end of media roll.

The far-side collet does not have a metal pin. Push the collet into the core, and friction will hold it in place.

5.From the rear of the printer, load the media and spool into the printer’s supply spool holder.

Press the home side of the supply spool into the home side holder (on the left from the rear of the printer), then swing the far side of the supply spool into the far side holder (on the right).

6.With your right hand, feed the leading edge of the media into the printer’s pinch rollers and hold it in place until the following step.

If loading 72 inch media, see “Loading 72-Inch Media” on page 3-29.

Note	The printer automatically locates the right and left
	edges of the media, so it is not necessary to align
	the media edges to a reference mark on the platen.

7.With your left hand, press the Media Advance button to advance media a few inches (several centimeters).

The Media Advance button is located to the left of the installed supply spool, on the rear of the printer next to the Big Ink pack tray and electronics enclosure.

8.While holding the left collet stationary, press the Media Advance button a few seconds, until the media web is tight with no wrinkles.

Ensure that the right and left edges of the media web are perpendicular to the sides of the printer, that the tension appears uniform across the media web, and that the media is not unrolling unevenly (“telescoping”) from the supply spool.

Note These checks ensure that the tension is uniform across the width of the media. This is critical to trouble-free printing.
