Chapter 2: Basic Operation
2-3 Loading Media
4
Place the rolled media on the shafts.
Pass the end of the media between the pinch
rollers and the grit rollers so that it extends from
the front of the unit.
5
When viewed from the front, align so that the left-hand edge of the media is above any of the grit rollers
and the right-hand edge is above any of the three grit rollers of the right side of the main unit.
Align the media so that it is straight, and move pinch rollers so that they are above the grit rollers. And
position the left and right pinch rollers at the two edges of the media. Position one (or both) middle
pinch rollers so as to form equally spaced intervals along the width of the media.
The positions of the pinch rollers change according to the size of the media that is loaded. Refer to "8-1 Media Conditions"
and see "Acceptable Media Width."
The stickers on the rail portion
are guides for positioning the
grit rollers.

gages the sensor.

Using the Middle Pinch Rollers
Use the middle pinch rollers as required. When a wide media is loaded, using the middle pinch rollers keeps media feed stable.
When using: Position it over the grit rollers.
When not using: Move it to a position away from the grit rollers. When in this state, the media is not clamped even when the
loading lever is lowered.
