Types of Media
This Master Guide uses the word “media” to mean sheets used for output. Media used with this ma-
chine are broadly classified into two types:
• Roll media: Media wound onto a paper tube
• Sheet media: Any media that is not wound on to a paper tube, e.g. standard size paper sheets
For both roll and sheet media, different types of paper can be selected according to the purpose. For
details contact your media supplier. Media can also be purchased from the Roland DG Corp. website.
