Do not carry media with the media surface pressed
against clothing.
Handle media in its individual packaging until just
before loading the media in the printer.
Notes on Loading Media
Caution:
❏
The dryer may be hot; observe all necessary
precautions. Failure to observe the necessary
precautions could result in burns.
❏
Do not put your hand inside the dryer. Failure
to observe the necessary precautions could
result in burns.
❏
Because the media is heavy, it should not be
carried by one person. We recommend using a
lifter for media that weighs over 40 kg (88 lb.).
❏
Be careful not to trap your hands or fingers
when opening or closing the front cover or the
maintenance cover. Failure to observe these
precautions could result in injury.
❏
Do not rub your hands along the edges of the
media. The edges of the media are sharp and
can cause injury.
Load the media just before printing.
The pressure rollers may crease media left in the printer.
The media may also become wavy or curled, causing
jams or resulting in the media coming into contact with
the print head.
Do not load media if the right and left edges are
uneven.
If media is loaded and the right and left edges of the roll
are uneven, media feeding problems may cause the
media to move around during printing. Either rewind to
align the edges or use a roll without any issues.
Load in an order appropriate for the media to be
used.
There are two ways to load media: The normal feeding
procedure and the take-up feeding procedure.
When media is being loaded, the printer does
operations such as feeding and rewinding the media to
detect its width. When using the normal feeding
procedure at this time, some problems, such as the
media wrinkling on the platen, may occur depending on
the type of media. These problems are caused when the
media gets stuck to the platen.
If these problems occur, follow the take-up feeding
procedure to load the media. In the take-up feeding
procedure, the media is loaded to the Auto Take-up Reel
Unit before feeding, to avoid it getting stuck to the
platen and causing problems.
Media that cannot be used
Do not use media that is folded, wrinkled, scuffed, torn,
or dirty. The media could rise up and contact the
printheads and damage them.
