Loading Rigid Media

Printing on rigid media only applies to printer models with rigid media software and media handling features. Printers so config- ured have two media load states:

Unloaded — the printer is ready to accept either roll-fed or rigid cut-sheet media

Loaded — the Media Wizard has stored parameters for the currently-loaded cut-sheet media, allowing you to reload multiple cut sheets without reentering the Media Wizard

1.Move the media support tables into place at the front and rear of the printer.

To reduce media feed problems, ensure that the tables are securely assembled, level from left to right, and at the same height as the platen. Secure the tables to the printer with the elastic cords provided.

2.On the Front Page screen of the control panel, press the Load Media key.

The control panel presents a list of media types. You can select a ColorSpan media from the list, or select Custom (at the end of the list) to specify a new media. The printer’s Media Wizard feature stores a set of parameters for each media type, which can be recalled and applied whenever you change media types. (See “Media Wizard” on page 3-32 for details.)

3.Select the media type you are loading, or create a new media type.

The control panel displays the current settings for the media type you choose.
