Loading Media
This section describes how to load media when the standard media feeding unit is
installed. We recommend that you perform a parallel adjustment of the media feeding unit
to ensure that media is fed straight and to avoid printing or take-up problems. For more
information, see “Parallel adjustment of the media feeding unit” on page 141.
Important:
❏
Load media immediately before printing. The pressure rollers may crease media left in the
printer. The media may also become wavy or curled, causing jams or resulting in the media
coming into contact with the print head.
❏
If the following points are not observed when handling media, small amounts of dust and lint
may stick to the media surface and cause in ink drops in the prints.
❏
Do not place exposed media directly on the floor. Media should be rewound and inserted
in its original packaging for storage.
❏
Do not carry media with the media surface pressed against clothing. Handle media in its
individual packaging until just before loading the media in the printer.
❏
If media is loaded and the right and left edges of the roll are uneven, media feeding
problems may cause the media to move around during printing. Either rewind to align the
edges or use a roll without any issues.
