4. Loading
the
Media
This section describes how to load the media in the printer. This
printer accepts label rolls, tag rolls, and fanfold paper stocks. Please
use TOSHIBA TEC CORPORATION approved media.
NOTES:
1. Please perform a media sensor calibration whenever you change the
media type.
For instructions on how to perform a media sensor calibration, refer to
2.9.1 Media Sensor Calibration
of the Owner’s Manual.
2. The size of the media which can be loaded inside the printer is as
follows:
Outer roll diameter: Max. 127mm (5”)
Inner core diameter: 25.4 (1”) mm or 38.1 mm (1.5”)
When the outer roll diameter exceeds 127 mm or the inner core
diameter exceeds 38.1 mm, an optional External Media Stand is
required. For details, refer to the
Installation Manual for the B-FV904-
PH-QM-R External Media Stand
.
At factory shipment, the core holder size is set for 1.5" on the Media
Roll Holders. If you want to use 1" core media, detach the core holders
by loosening the thumb screws, reverse the core holders then re-attach
them with the thumb screws to the Media Roll Holders as shown below.
3. Media rolls can be wound inside or wound outside. (See the diagram
below.) Both types of media roll should be loaded so that the print side
faces up.
WARNING!
1. Do not touch any moving
parts. To reduce the risk of
fingers, jewellery, clothing,
etc. being drawn into the
mechanism, be sure to load
the media
only
once the
printer has completely
stopped moving.
2. To avoid injury, be careful
not to trap your fingers
while opening or closing
the Top Cover.
CAUTION!
Be careful not to touch the
Print Head Elements when
opening the Top Cover. Doing
this may cause damage to
some of the dots through
static discharge or other print
quality problems.
