3.2 Using Roll Paper
IMPORTANT
• To obtain high quality printed results, be sure to use Graphtec-supplied paper.
• The rolls must be outside wound, with printing performed on the outer surface.
When loading a roll of paper in the printer, try to avoid touching the printing
surface directly with your hands.
Fingerprints on the printing surface will adversely affect ink adhesion.
• Take care not to cut your fingers on the edges of the paper when handling it.
• Paper may not be fed correctly and may become jammed if the leading edge of
the roll paper is not straight or if there is adhesive from the fastening tape
remaining on the paper. Make sure that the leading edge is straight before
loading the paper in the printer.
Loading roll paper
1. Press the printer's [POWER] button to turn on the printer.
Check that the [POWER] button LED lights blue.
Note: Immediately after the power is turned on, the printer performs an initialization
operation. Wait until the initialization operation has been completed before
proceeding with the paper loading operation.
2. Check the direction in which the paper is wound, and then slide the roll onto the
stocker shaft. At this time, slide the roll along the shaft until its right edge (as shown
in the figure) fits onto the flange. Next, firmly insert the stopper so that it fits into the
core at the other end of the roll.
