Loading Roll Media Guidelines
There are three steps to loading media into the printer.
1.
Load media onto the media spindle and install the
loaded spindle into the printer.
2.
Insert the media into the printers’ media path and
set the media type in the front panel.
3.
Install the media onto the take up reel (if you have
one).
Into the Printer
In the initial stages of loading media you may want to
open the window, but this is optional. If you are an
experienced user for example, you can leave the
window closed, thus saving time.
NOTE: Always start the procedure through the front
panel.
When loading media into the printer check:
The media is wound onto the spindle tightly.
Ensure the media spindle is loaded
correctly, with the media guides installed
firmly onto the spindle.
If you are using a three-inch cardboard core, make
sure the core adaptors supplied with the printer,
have been installed. See below
The spindles
If you are a regular user of different types of media, you
can change the media over quicker if you have more
than one spindle loaded with media. Perform the
following:
Pre-load the different types of media onto the
spindles.
Remove and replace the spindle with the new type
of media.
Extra spindles are available from HP see
