2.7 Loading the Media










The following procedure shows the steps to properly load the media into
the printer so that it feeds straight and true through the printer.

The printer prints both labels and tags.

1.

Turn off the power and open the Top Cover.

2.

Turn the Head Lever to

Free

position, then release the Ribbon Shaft

Holder Plate.

3.

Open the Print Head Block.

















CAUTION!

When loading or replacing the media or a ribbon, be careful not to
damage the print head with a hard object like a watch or a ring.




Since the print head element can be easily damaged by shock, please
treat it carefully by not hitting a hard object against it.

4.

Turn the Locking Ring counterclockwise and remove the Supply

Holder from the Supply Shaft.









1. Do not touch any moving

parts. To reduce the risk
of fingers, jewellery,
clothing, etc., being
drawn into the moving
parts, be sure to load the
media once the printer
has stopped moving
completely.

2. The Print Head becomes

hot immediately after
printing. Allow it to cool
before loading the media.

3. To avoid injury, be careful

not to trap your fingers
while opening or closing
the cover.

WARNING!

NOTES:

1. When the Head Lever is

turned to

Free

position, the

Print Head is raised.

2. To allow printing the Head

Lever must be set to

Lock

position. (This ensures that
the Print Head is closed.)

There are two head pressure
levels in the

Lock

position.

Set the Head Lever depending
on the media type:

?: Labels

Position

@: Tags

However, proper position
may differ depending on
media. For details, refer to
TOSHIBA TEC authorised
service representative.

3. Do not turn the Locking Ring

counter-clockwise too far or it
may come off the Supply
Holder.

CAUTION!

Be careful not to touch the
Print Head Element when
raising the Print Head Block.
Failure to do this may cause
missing dots by static
electricity or other print quality
problems.
