8264E Loading Roll Media
Follow the procedure below to load roll media on the 8264E.
1. Loosen the left side and right side roll media holders at the rear of the printer. To do this, pull the 
lever towards you to release it from the ratchet. Then rotate the lever clockwise until you can no 
longer firmly grasp it. Release the lever (so the ratchet engages), then rotate the lever counter-
clockwise until the media holders can be slid on their track.
2. Move both roll media holders outward. 
3. Temporarily set the distance between the roll media holders a little wider than the width of the roll 
media you are loading.
4. Engage the damper drive switching plates and their locking brackets on the end of each roll media 
holder to increase tension on the media roll to avoid slack and "No media found" errors.

media holder is tightened and can’t be moved.

its flange is flat against the cardboard tube. Do not tighten the fixing lever.
8. Return to the fixing lever of the roll media holder (Left) and ratchet it counter-clockwise to loosen 
the media holder again. With both media holders loose, move the entire assembly to the center.

8254E Loading Roll Media
Follow the procedure below to load roll media on the 8254E.
CAUTION:
• Load roll media on a horizontal surface such as a desk or table.
If you load roll media with the scroller standing vertically, there is a possibility that the scroller 
might get damaged.
1. Load the roll media onto the scroller so that the media’s loose end "flap" points in a counter-
clockwise direction (toward the left) when viewed from the fixed flange, as shown below.
2. Push the fixed flange into the roll media until its cardboard core is firmly against the inside surface 
of the fixed flange.

6. Eliminate any slack or slant by holding or taping the front edge of the media and rewinding the roll 
media a little using the flange on the roll media holder.
Notes:
•If you don’t hold the front edge of the media while rewinding, it will fall out from the 
media feed slot on the rear of the printer.
•Confirm that the right edge of the roll media does not extend outward of the loading 
mark on the right side of the media guide at the front of the printer. If it does, it may 
negatively affect print quality.
