Printing with Externally-Mounted Roll Media

Your printer accommodates externally-mounted roll media (as it does for fanfold media). It requires a media-roll-and-stand combination to ensure low (initial) inertia when pulling the media off the roll.
Make note of these considerations when using externally-mounted roll media:
  • The media should ideally enter the printer from directly behind the printer and pass through the fanfold media slot in the rear of the printer.
  • The media should move smoothly and freely. It should not slip, skip, jerk, bind and then move, etc. when mounted on your media stand.
  • The movement of the media roll should not be impeded by contact with any printer or other surfaces.
  • The printer should be placed such that it may not slip or lift up away from its operating surface while printing.
