Rolls are heavy, and dropping a roll may cause injury. Handling Paper > Handling rolls >Attaching the Roll Holder to RollsiPF83007774
Important•When handling the roll, be careful not to soil the printing surface. This may affect the printing quality. We recommend wearing clean cloth gloves when handling rolls to protect the printing surface. • Use scissors or a cutting tool to cut the edge of the roll paper if it is uneven, dirty, or has tape residue. Other- wise, it may cause feeding problems and affect the printing quality. Be careful not to cut through any barco- des printed on the roll. • Align the edges of the paper on both ends of the roll. Misalignment may cause feeding problems.Note•For details on supported sizes and types of rolls, see Paper Sizes or the Paper Reference Guide. (See "Paper Sizes .") →P.771 (See " Types of Paper .")→P.768 • To view instructions as you attach the Roll Holder, press the Navigate button.

Loading Rolls in the Printer Follow these steps to load rolls in the printer. Important• Always load rolls when the printer is on. If the printer is off when you load a roll, the paper may not be advanced correctly when you turn the printer on. Handling Paper > Handling rolls >iPF8300Loading Rolls in the Printer7777
Note•Before loading rolls, make sure the printer is clean inside the Top Cover and around the Ejection Guide. If these areas are dirty, we recommend cleaning them in advance. (See "Cleaning Inside the Top Cover .") →P.1026 1.Press the Load button. 2.Press ▲ or ▼ to select Roll Paper , and then press the OK button.

5.Pull out the roll evenly on both ends and insert it in the Paper Feed Slot (a). Advance the roll until it touches the Paper Retainer (b). Once the roll reaches the Paper Retainer, it is automatically advanced over the Platen. Important• Be careful not to soil the printing surface of roll paper as you insert it in the slot. This may affect the printing quality. • If the paper is wrinkled or warped, straighten it out before loading it. • For paper that tends to curl, lift the Release Lever and manually pull the roll paper over the Platen. • Load the roll so that there is no gap between the right edge of the paper and the Roll Holder.

If paper cannot be advanced straight or if it wrinkles, it may jam or rub against the Printhead. • Do not force the roll paper into alignment with the paper alignment line (b). This may prevent the paper from being advanced straight.Note• You can adjust the strength of suction holding paper against the Platen when the Release Lever is released. If it is difficult to load paper, press the ▲ or ▼ button on the Control Panel to adjust the strength. Set suction stronger by pressing the ▲ button or weaker with the ▼ button.
