FIGURE 3 STOCK THREADING
LOADING STOCK FOR THE FIRST TIME
1) Slide the outboard stock guide to a position wider than the roll of stock to be
loaded. Set the stock roll core over the outboard guide and slide the roll to the
back guide. Move the outboard stock guide in until it contacts the stock roll.
2) Remove the tape or pull the glued end of the stock loose from the supply roll of
stock. Pull off about 2 feet (.5 m) of stock to thread it through the printer.
NOTE: If the material was glued to the core, cut off all material that has glue on
any surface.
3) Open the print head by pressing the release lever.
4) Open the web guide just before the print head platen roller to a width wider than
the stock to be used.
5) With the cover in the up position, slide the leading edge of the stock through the
lower guide that also contains the sensor system. Keep the stock to the back of
the printer as the unit is a back justified printer.
6) As the stock exits the sensor area, continue to slide the stock through the
print station. At this point you may need to direct the edge of the stock
below the ink drive roller.
7) With the feed roller open, slide the stock through the two feed rollers, aux. feed
and through the knife into the stacker approximately 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch.
8) Check that the stock is still to the back of the printer.
9) Adjust the front web guide, just in back of the platen roller, until it just misses the
front guide. This is to allow for the slight tolerance variation in the stock.
10) Close the feed roller and the print head station.
11) Rewind any loose stock onto the supply roll.
