2-2 Loading and Cutting Off Media
Loading Media
Media may be of one of two types: media wound onto a paper tube (called “roll media”) and media not rolled in this way
(called “sheet media”). This section explains how to load media, using roll media as an example. For information on how to
load sheet media, refer to the page indicated below.
 P. 82, "How to Load Sheet Media"
CAUTION
Load roll media correctly.
Otherwise the media may fall and cause injury.
CAUTION
Roll media weighs about 30 kg (66 lb.). To avoid injury, handle with care.
CAUTION Never load media that weighs more than 30 kg (66 lb.) (or, for the 30-inch model,
more than 20 kg (44 lb.)).
The machine may fail to withstand the weight and tip over or cause the media to
fall.
