2.2 LOADING MEDIA
The SATO D508 / D512 printer can print to direct thermal die-cut labels, tags or continuous media.
The media supply can be either in Roll or Fanfold format.
Roll Media
Roll media should be between 0.98" (25 mm) and 4.3" (110 mm) in width and wound face-out on a
core with a minimum internal diameter of 1.6" (40 mm).
1. Make sure the printer is turned OFF.
2. Open the Top Cover by pressing on cover
release points located on the right-hand side
of the printer. This releases the Top Cover and
allows it to swing upward on the rear mounted
hinge points.
3. With the Top Cover in the upright position,
press the Paper Guide Release while adjust-
ing the Paper Guides until they allow a media
roll to fit between them. A millimeter scale is
molded into the case to provide a guide when
making the adjustment. The Paper Guides are
center justified and interact with each other so
that each moves an equal distance.
4. Make sure the Roll Holders are in the released
position. If they are not, lift up on each one and
they will snap to the open position.
5. Unwind approximately 12" of label material
from the roll. The labels should be wound
face-out (printing side to the outside of the
roll). Drop the roll in-between the Paper
Guides so that the labels come off the top of
the roll. The Paper Guides will automatically
position the Roll Holders to suspend the roll.
