Loading Roll Media
Use the instructions in this section to load roll media in Tear-Off mode and Gap/Web media
sensing set by default. This mode also works for most full width black mark (black line)
media.
For other common media and setting variations see one of the following:
•Using the Movable Black Mark Sensor on page 89
•Printing on Fan-Fold Media on page 93
•Cutter Option on page 103
•Label Dispenser Option on page 100 after you have loaded media using this
procedure.
Instructions for media loading:
1. Open the printer. Pull the release latch levers toward the front of the printer.
2. Open the media roll holders. Pull the media guides open with your free hand and place the
media roll on the roll holders and release the guides. Orient the media roll so that its
printing surface will face up as it passes over the platen (drive) roller.
