FEED - Advancing the Media
The FEED function is used to prevent the loaded media from slipping by auto-
matically advancing the media and imprinting it with grit roller marks; the media is
then returned to its original position.
If you know approximately how much media you will require for the next cut,
advance the media prior to starting the cut by using this function. Otherwise,
enable the AUTO PRE-FEED FUNCTION.
CAUTION: Do not use the FEED function with media that is shorter than 1 meter. If the
FEED LENGTH setting exceeds the actual length of loaded media, the media
will fall out in front of the plotter. If this happens, shorten the FEED LENGTH.
