Loading the Media - Standard Method
The standard way to load media is quick and efficient and ensures
minimum waste of material. However, for some longer print jobs or when
you use media that is more flexible and therefore harder to achieve good
alignment, there is an alternate method that will be described in Section D.
Straight loading of roll media is very important to avoid wrinkles and
banding in the print, especially on longer print job runs. If you want to
ensure that a media is loaded straight or if you see an inverted light/dark
banding across the media, we recommend the alternative method.
Procedure
1.
Select the Load icon from the Roll Media Manager.
2.
If you are going to print with "Print Side In", click the icon in the Roll Media
manager ("Print Side Out" is the default so you do not need to select it
unless you have previously used Print Side In). Note that the icon toggles
from one choice to the other when you click it.
NOTE
For Print Side Out, the media unrolls from the bottom the supply shaft.
For Print Side In, the media unrolls from the top of the supply shaft.
3.
Wait for the gantry to move part way across the table.
4.
Thread the media under the media tension bar (Note that the media is
threaded for Print Side Out in the photo below). Pay out media with the
foot pedal as required.
