Setting the Media
4. Set the media roll and media holder in to the printer as shown
above. It is advisable to pull a length of media forwards and
through the mechanism ready for later positioning.
5. Move the media roll so it is touching the left side of the housing.
Then slide the black movable media guide so it is touching the
media on the right side.
Note: Do not try to hold the media too tightly with these guides as it will
cause the printer to jam during printing.
6. Align the media with the left fixed media guide (2 locations),
align the right movable media guide with the media width, and
lower the sensor arm which loosely holds the media in position.

the media width adjustment screw and the media thickness
adjustment knob. See “Chapter 3 Printer Adjustments”.
