8. To prepare for feeding the media down through the dispenser mechanism,
remove a few labels from the backing. Fold at leatest an inch of the backing up
to create a double-layered, stronger leading edge for easier loading.
9. Adjust the media roll to remove excess slack, then lower the printhead by
rotating the printhead lever (
1
) counterclockwise until it stops. Tension on the
media is needed to complete loading.
Click the Feed-button at the Gemini Control Panel (see chapter 8) to
synchronize the media feed.

11. Feed the folded backing strip downward in front of the peel plate (
12
) and
behind the dispenser drive roller (
11
) as shown in Figure 6b. Continue feeding
the backing strip through until the leading edge appears below the dispenser
drive roller (
11
).
12. Grasp the edge of the folded backing strip and pull it through. Then close the
dispenser locking roller by rotating the dispenser locking lever (
9
) counter-
clockwise until itstops.
13. Check the position of the media guide (
6
) and if necessary, slide it inward until
it lightly touches the sides of the media strip.
If you do not use the printer an extended period of time, lift the printhead to
avoid possible flattening of the print roller.
