Loading Roll Media

When you load media, you must place the roll on the media hangers and
then adjust the media guides.

You must use the correct media for the type of printing you require. You
must use direct thermal media.

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.

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.
