Peel-Off Mode Media Loading
(Rewind Option Required)
NOTE: For best results, install the printer on a level surface. This is
especially helpful with wider printers using wide media. If the
surface is not level, the media may “telescope” off of the Rewind
Spindle, causing unsatisfactory results.
1. Remove the Rewind Plate if one is present on the front of the printer
and store it on the two mounting screws on the inside of the front panel.
Align the notch in the bracket so the Label Available Sensor (shown in
Figure 14 on page 56) can detect a peeled label.
2. Load the media as described in the instructions for Roll Media Loading
on page 9. When loading the media, allow about one yard of media to
extend past the Tear-Off bar. Remove all labels from this portion of the
media to create a leader.
3. Remove the Hook from the Rewind Spindle. If you are using a core,
remove all tape from the core and slide it onto the Rewind Spindle until
it is flush against the guide plate.
4. Wind the backing around either (1) the Rewind Spindle and reinstall the
hook or (2) a 3” core. Make sure that the media backing is against the
Backing Guide Plate.
NOTE: Before closing the Printhead Open Lever, make sure that the
following guidelines are met:
n the media is positioned against the inside guides, and the outer guide
and Media Supply Guide barely touch the media
n the media is taut
n the media is parallel with itself and with the pathway when wound on
the Rewind Spindle/core
5. See “Transmissive Media Sensor Position Adjustment” on page 15.
