Introduction
This topic describes how to load a media roll in position 1.
NOTE

roll. You can load a media roll without the optional grip lock. This procedure describes both
situations.
Before you begin
Before you load a roll on the printer:
• Make sure you have added a media profile with the correct media type via the RIP. For more
information, see

• Check the media width of your roll before loading. When your media width is not present in the
list on the operator panel, you can type it in.
• Put on gloves to avoid pollution of the paper by your fingerprints.
CAUTION
• Watch your fingers when you handle the media roll.
• Loading heavy media, 25 kg (55 lb) or more, has to be done by two people or with the help of
external lifting tools.

• Only open the media drawer when the indicator light on the drawer is on. Do not open the
drawer when the light is off, you can damage the machine.
