Clamp the edges of the media with the media clamp.
Attach the media clamps.
The media clamps are magnetic, and the left and right clamps are distinct. Refer to the figure and install
them at the correct positions, taking care not to let the left and right clamps get mixed up.
Close the front cover.
When the front cover is closed, the print-head carriage moves and detects the width of media. This opera-
tion is called initialization. When initialization ends,
remains steadily lighted, and the printable
width is displayed on the display screen. This completes loading of the media.
Remove when not using roll media.
If roll media is allowed to stand unused in a loaded state for an extended period, the media may sag.
This can cause poor printing quality and motor errors, so be sure to remove and store such media
when not in use.
