CAUTION
Lifting a media roll has always to be done with the help of an external lifting tool.
Lifting media (e.g. rigids) has to be done with the help of an external lifting tool or at least two
persons.
NOTE
When you select the Unload icon the media will advance automatically by a preset amount. This
distance is determined by the Move Media on Unload value in the Settings Roll Module tab. The
default value will advance the media to a position past the Media Cut Guide so that the printed
image is not cut. To manually increase this distance you can use the foot pedal to advance the
media, but only before the Unload is selected. Once Unload is selected the foot pedals will not
work until you Initiate a new RMO pint job.
