Media Loading
To load media, move the Printhead Locking Lever to the OPEN
position. Refer to Figures 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6. When the media is
loaded, close the printhead by moving the lever on the upper
printhead mechanism to the CLOSED position.
Note: The first time you load media and whenever you
subsequently change the media type you must re-calibrate
the printer. See the Configuration and Calibration Section.
Permasleeve Printing
For information about Permasleeve Printing, refer to Appendix F.
Roll Media
Roll media may contain labels of a fixed length with gaps
in-between or it may be formed as one continuous length with no
gaps (see Continuous Media.) Both types of roll media mount
inside the printer in the same manner. To load roll media, refer to
Figure 2.4 and/or 2.5 and do the following.
1. Move the Media Guide and Media Supply Guide as far away
from the printer frame as possible.
2. Place the media roll on the Media Supply Hanger.
3. Push the Media Supply Guide inward until it is just touching
the outer side of the Media Supply Roll, then lock the guide in
place with its locking screw. (The Guide must not cause pres-
sure or excessive drag on the Media Supply Roll.)
4. Thread the media through the printhead as shown in the illus-
trations.
5. Adjust the Media Guide and Media Supply Guide until they
just touch the outer edge of the media without causing it to
buckle.
6. Close the printhead by moving the lever located on the upper
printhead assembly to the CLOSED position.
