							Install a media roll in the printer
CAUTIONDo not touch heater surfaces in the paper path. This may cause burns.
Handle media rolls with care. They can be heavy and difficult to move in confined spaces. In
some cases, two people should move and install media rolls. Dropping a media roll could
cause personal injury or damage to the printer.
The printers front panel messages will guide you through the process of loading media. To install a
media roll:
1.Open the rear cover and slide the media edge guards to each end of the platen.
Slide the fan guide lever to the right side of the platen to avoid obstructing the media path and
damaging the media.
NOTEPosition the media edge guards after loading the media. See How do I... Use themedia edge guard. Position the fan guide lever after loading the media.
2.Close the rear cover.
