Placing the Roll in the Media Compartment

Before using the printer install the media roll into the printer.
  1. Open the printer. Remember that you need to pull the release latch levers toward the front of the printer.
  2. Open the media roll holders. Pull the media guides open with your free hand and place the media roll on the roll holders and release the guides. Orient the media roll so that its printing surface will face up as it passes over the platen (drive) roller.
  3. Pull the media so that it extends out of the front of the printer. Verify the roll turns freely. The roll must not sit in the bottom of the media compartment. Verify that the media’s printing surface is facing up.
  4. Push the media under both of the media guides.
