Note for media setting
When setting media, read the following notes carefully.
• Head gap value must be changed each time when
the media to be used is changed.
• In this machine you can register printing conditions
(SETUP 1 to 4) in advance to match the media to
be used.(
If the head gap value is registered in the SETUP 1
to 4, you do not need to set the head gap value
each time of changing the media.
• Take care not to drop the media on your foot when
setting the media. It may cause an injury due to
the media.
• When setting a roll media, work by two or more
people. Otherwise, you may hurt your back by the
weight of the roll media.
• In the cases below, be sure to fix tension-bars on
both sides of the printer. If you leave the tension-
bars unfixed, the bars supported by media may fall
down. Please be careful.
(1)
When lifting up the clamp lever
(2)
When cutting media manually
(3)
When cutting media with tools you have
(cutter, scissors, etc.)
• In the following cases, the media may not be
detected correctly.
• When setting a transparent media / when a media
is exposed to direct sunshine.
• Do not use a printed media. Otherwise, ink can
adhere to the pinch rollers and media may be
stained or may not be detected.
• Straighten the significantly or internally curled
media to be fed along the platen.
• If the media is left set on the machine for a long
time, the media may form an irregular surface for
the heat from the print-heater. If printing on such
an irregular surface, the head may rub on the
media. If an irregular surface is found on the
media, feed the media with the [
] key to avoid
printing on the irregular surface, and set a new
origin. (
• Set the media based on the center of the machine.
• Periodically replace the paper core for taking up
the media. If you use the one whose inner has
been peeled due to long-term use as shown in the
right photo, taking up the media cannot be
performed normally in some cases.
