Load External Media

To use large rolls of media or tag stock (up to 8-in diameter), you can
load the media from outside the printer.

Place the media behind the printer.

Feed the media into the printer through the external media feed
slot.

Thread the media through the media holders or media guides as
you would for media installed inside the printer.
