Loading Roll Media
To start this procedure you need to have a roll of media installed on to the printer
spindle. See page 3-32, Installing a New Roll into the Printer.
1 Check the leading edge as it unwinds from the spool. If it is not evenly cut or if it is
skewed (not perpendicular to the guides), continue with the next procedure. If the
media is cut correctly go to step 3.
WARNING The knife used in the next step is sharp. Be sure the printer’s wheels are locked.
Keep fingers clear of the cutting path. Keep the knife away from children.
2 Trim the leading edge of the media roll only if it is not straight:
a Pull the media over the top of the machine and lay it over the cutting track.
b Use the knife in the pocket located on the back of the printer to cut off the first
few inches of the media.
c Retract the blade and return the knife to its pocket.
