To install a media roll:
1.Insert one spacer (2) onto each roll stop (1).
2.Insert the roll stops into each end of the media core.
CAUTION The roll may be very long; rest the roll hori zontally on a table and insert the two

5.At the rear of the printer, loosen the stop screw  (1) and position the left (3) and right (2) media roll
holders so that the roll stops on each end of the roll can be placed on the holders.
NOTE Before lifting the roll of media onto the me dia roll holders, decide if you want to print
on the media face up or face down. Media can  be fed through the media path from over the
roll (face up) (1) or from under the roll (face down) (2).
6. Lift the roll of media (1) onto the media roll holders.

11.Slide the cutter (1) and media clips (2) out of the  media path so that they can be accessed to cut the
printed media and to avoid damage to the leading edge of the media.
12. At the rear of the printer, lift the media lever (1).
13.If there is unequal pressure on  the left (1) and right (2) edges of  the media when feeding the media
into the printer, either reposition the media so t hat the pressure is equal at the edges or use the
pressure release lifters to equalize the  pressure. . This will help avoid skew.

If the pinch wheels do not apply the same pressure on both edges, then do the following:
a. Reposition the media so that the pressure  is equal at both edges of the media:
● Lower the media lever;
● Loosen the stop screws on the media holders;
● Adjust the position of the roll left or right along the support bar;
● Tighten the stop screws on the media holders;
● Raise the media lever.
NOTE
Take care that the media is flat an d does not catch on the pinchwheels while
changing the position.

b.Use the pressure release lifters to equaliz e the pressure at the edges of the media;
● Pull out the pressure release lifter (1) of the required pinchwheel (2);
●Example of when the pressure release lifter needs to be pulled out to release unequal
pressure from the Pinchwheel at the edge of the media;

●Example of when the pressure release lifter 
does not need to be pulled out to release
unequal pressure from the Pinchw heel at the edge of the media;
14.Feed the media until a beep sounds from the media feeder (about 200 mm).
NOTE It is a good practice to feed the media th rough the media path until it almost touches
the floor because when you rewind the excess me dia again this will ensure an even tension
across width of the media and avoid skew.
NOTE If you have problems loading media, feed the media into the printer by holding both
edges of the media.
Take care that the media does not curl inside  the front cover and that the media edge guards
are not obstructing the media path.

15.Take up any excess media by rewinding the roll stop (1) on the media roll. This will help to make sure
there is even tension across the  width of the media and avoid skew.
16.Lower the media lever (1) to the required media pressure position, low pressure or normal pressure.
For details, see How do I… Increase/reduce pressure on media .
17.Open the front cover (1).
