This procedure describes how to load the media for your printer.
  1. Open the printer by pulling the release latch levers toward the front of the printer.

  2. Open the media roll holders. With one hand, orient the media roll so that the printing surface faces up as it passes over the platen (drive) roller. Use your free hand to pull the media guides open. Place the media roll on the roll holders and release the guides. Ensure that the roll turns freely.

    For continuous roll receipt-type media and for label media without black marks or notches...
    Align the media to the default center position.
    For black mark (black line, notches or holes), backed media...
    Adjust the sensor position so that it aligns with the center of the black mark.
