HP 72SR manual Loading Roll-Fed Media, Supply only

Loading Roll-Fed Media

The printer includes a tensioned supply and takeup system designed to handle vinyl and other heavier media on three-inch cores. The media handling system automatically detects the size of the supply and takeup rolls and provides consistent tension as the rolls change size during printing.

With the corresponding collets, media on 2-inch cores can be loaded onto the supply, but only 3-inch collets can be used on the takeup.

Tip	Wear cotton gloves when loading media, or handle
	the media only by its very outside edges. This will
	prevent skin oils from being deposited on the media,
	which could be visible on printed output.
