Loading Media
Wear cotton gloves during this procedure, or handle the media
only by its very outside edges. This will prevent skin oils from
being deposited on the media, which could render output qual-
ity unacceptable.
Note
For best results, use genuine ColorSpan media.
1. Load the collet with the setscrew onto the spool, and tighten
the setscrew into the outside hole of the spool (if the media is
on a 3-inch core, position the collet to the inside hole of the
spool).
2. Load the media roll onto the spool so that it unrolls over the
top fo the spool.
See “Settings” on page 2-7 to set the takeup motor for Small
(2-inch) or Large (3-inch) cores.
3. Load and press the adjustable collet (without the pin) tightly
into the end of the cardboard media core.
4. From the rear of the printer, load the media and spool into
the printer’s supply spool holder.
Press the home side of the supply spool into the home side
holder (on the left from the rear of the printer), then swing
the far side of the supply spool into the far side holder (on
the right).
5. With your right hand, feed the leading edge of the media
into the printer’s pinch rollers and hold it in place until the
following step.
