Loading Media 3-29
Loading 72-Inch Media The width of the 72-inch media makes it impossible for most
persons to load it by grasping its left and right edges at the same
time. Follow this procedure to more easily load 72-inch wide
media.
Wear cotton gloves during this procedure, or handle the media
only by its very outside edges. This will prevent skin oils from
being deposited on the media, which could render output qual-
ity unacceptable.
1. With your right hand, grasp the media at the center of its
leading edge, and pull it forward into the center grip rollers.
2. While continuing to hold the center of the leading edge of
the media in place, grasp the left edge of the media with
your left hand.
3. Pull the left edge of the media into the leftmost grip rollers.
4. Hold the media in place with your left hand.
5. Grasp the right edge of the media with your right hand, and
pull it into the rightmost grip rollers.
6. With both hands, feed the media web evenly into all grip roll-
ers.
7. Press the Media Advance button to finish loading the media.
8. Verify that the media web is even and unwrinkled across its
width.
9. When loading the media onto the takeup spool, ensure that
the media is tightly wound onto the spool across its width.
Uneven or excessive tension may cause the spool to pull out
of the left spool holder.
