2-2 Loading Media

When the machine will remain unused for an extended period, remove roll media from the machine and store it.

If roll media is left mounted on the machine for an extended period, these entire roll may warp, resulting in poor printed image

quality or motor errors.

When transparent media is loaded, it is necessary to set [SHEET TYPE] to [CLEAR]. For more information, see "4-5 Using

Transparent Media."

When changing to a different type of media, it may be necessary to perform feed correction or bidirectional correction. For

more information, see "4-6 Making Corrections for Printing."

For information about the conditions of media that can be used and loadable media widths, see "8-1 Media Conditions."
