11.Rotate the feed roller knob toward you. Continue to forward the media until you hear a beep from the printer. The printer will sense the new media’s leading edge. Ensure that there is even tension and no wrinkles on the media.

12.Close the printer’s top cover. The printer will start initializing, and you should hear activity as it checks and positions the newly loaded media roll.

After completing its self-test, the printer will forward some of the newly loaded media through the print path and then cut it. This assures that the media has a clean-cut leading edge when printing.

13.Examine the cut edge of the media to verify that the cutter is properly set and is cutting the media cleanly. If it is not a clean cut, change the printer’s cutter setting to match the media type. Refer to the Operations chapter as described in Media type.

14.Ensure the printer is online and ready to receive the next print job.

15.Set the media type and attributes at the operations panel. Refer to the Operations Panel Menu section.

This completes installation of a new media roll in the printer.
