Printing with Externally Mounted Roll Media

The printer accommodates externally mounted roll media similar to the printer’s support of fan-fold media.
The printer requires the media roll and stand combination to have low initial inertia to pull the media off the roll.

Externally Mounted Roll Media Considerations:

  • The media enters the printer directly behind the printer through the fan-fold media slot in the rear of the printer. See Printing on Fan-Fold Media.
  • Lower the print speed to decrease the chance of motor stalls. The roll typically has the highest inertia when trying to start the roll moving. Larger media roll diameters require the printer to have more torque applied to get the roll moving.
  • The media should move smoothly and freely. The media should not slip, skip, jerk, bind, and then move, etc. when mounted on your media stand.
  • The printer should not touch the media roll.
  • The printer should not slip or lift up off the operating surface.
