7.Ensure that the media is rolled onto the supply spool evenly, without “telescoping” to one side.

8.Release the pinch rollers so that media can be fed through them freely.

9.Feed the media through the pinch rollers and onto the platen.

10.From the front of the printer, pull the media web taut so that the media feeds in a straight line from the supply, with no wrinkles.

This is easier with two persons. If loading with one person, first lower the pinch rollers, walk around to the front of the printer, release the pinch rollers, then straighten the media.

11.Lower the pinch rollers onto the media.

12.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 3-44 for details.)
