Load a cut sheet into the printer

The printer is designed to be used with rolls of substrate. It is possible to load cut sheets into the printer, but
print quality cannot be guaranteed, and you may have some difficulty in avoiding skew.

The sheet should be at least 1067 mm (42 in) long.

Load the sheet by following the normal roll loading procedure (automatic or manual, depending on the
substrate).

During the loading procedure, the printer tries to detect the winding direction of the roll by turning the
spindle in both directions. When the substrate is not attached to the spindle, the following message
appears.

A cut sheet is likely to be loaded with excessive skew, and the printer may not be able to correct it
automatically. If the skew as measured by the printer exceeds 3 mm/m, you are recommended to
reload the sheet. However, if the skew is tolerable, you can consider skipping the automatic skew
correction. To do so, when prompted, choose Continue with current skew.
