Install dual media rolls on the main scroller
The dual media roll printing function allows you to print simultaneously on two media rolls of up to
●Maximum media roll width — 50 inches
●Use identical media rolls — type and width. The wound diameter (length of media remaining) on each roll must be the same
●Only print on the outside of the media rolls. Printing on the inside of the media rolls cannot be used for dual media roll printing
●Start winding two media rolls simultaneously to ensure the wound diameter is identical.
CAUTION The printer does not automatically mask the gap between media rolls. If you do not take this into account, when you send a print job, any data in the unmasked area will be printed on the platen. This is also the case for test prints.
CAUTION Do not touch heater surfaces in the paper path. This may cause burns.
Handle media rolls with care. They can be heavy and difficult to move in confined spaces. In some cases, two people should move and install media rolls. Dropping a media roll could cause personal injury or damage to the printer.
This procedure shows you how to install two media rolls on the main scroller for printing on the outside of the roll.
