Loading Roll-Fed
Media
The printer includes a tensioned supply and takeup system
designed to handle vinyl and other heavier media on three-inch
cores. The media handling system automatically detects the size
of the supply and takeup rolls and provides consistent tension as
the rolls change size during printing.
With the corresponding collets, media on 2-inch cores can be
loaded onto the supply, but only 3-inch collets can be used on
the takeup.
Tip
Wear cotton gloves when loading media, or handle
the media only by its very outside edges. This will
prevent skin oils from being deposited on the media,
which could be visible on printed output.
