Loading Roll Media
When you load media, you must place the roll on the media hangers and then adjust the media guides.
MOVIE
You must use the correct media for the type of printing you require. When printing without a ribbon, you must use direct thermal media. When using ribbon, you must use thermal transfer media. The printer's ribbon sensor detects motion of the supply spindle.
Placing the Roll in the Media Compartment
Whether your roll media is inside or | |
outside wound you load it into the printer | |
the same way. | |
MOVIE |
|
1. | Open the printer. Remember that you |
| need to pull the release levers toward |
| the front of the printer. |
2. | Remove the outside length of media. |
| During shipment, the roll may become |
| dirty when handled or dusty when |
| stored. Removing the outside length |
| avoids dragging adhesive or dirty |
| media between the print head and |
| platen. |
3. | Separate and hold open the media |
| hangers. |
4. | Orient the media roll so that its |
| printing surface will be up as it passes |
| over the platen. |
5. | Lower the roll between the hangers |
| and close them onto the core. |
