Step 9: Locking the scroller slip ring
Lock the scroller by sliding the scroller slip ring onto the scroller rollers. The scroller slip
ring will prevent unwinding of the roll media from the scroller when roll media is still not
loaded in the machine.
Step 10 : Loading roll media.
Pull some media off the roll, feed it into the media feed gap
and between the pressure rollers and the drive roller.
Pull out the media at the front side and make sure at least 0.5
meters hangs out in front of the printer.
Caution :
When you load roll media from the back, be careful not to hurt yourself by
touching the pressure roller system.
Step 11 : Checking the position of roll media.
Turn the scroller by hand and wind up several turns of roll media. As you wind up the
media, check the relative positions of the drive roller on the right and the right hand edge
of the roll media. It is normal if with the roll media pulled tight, the portion that is being
wound and the portion that was unwound are straight and the right hand side edge of the
media is on the guide line. If this is not the case, adjust the position of the roll media in
accordance with step 9.
