2.7 Loading the Media
The following procedure shows the steps to properly load the media into
the printer so that it feeds straight and true through the printer.
The printer prints both labels and tags.
1.
Turn off the power and open the Top Cover.
2.
Turn the Head Lever to
Free
position, then release the Ribbon Shaft
Holder Plate.
3.
Open the Print Head Block.
CAUTION!
When loading or replacing the media or a ribbon, be careful not to
damage the print head with a hard object like a watch or a ring.
Since the print head element can be easily damaged by shock, please
treat it carefully by not hitting a hard object against it.
4.
Turn the Locking Ring counterclockwise and remove the Supply
Holder from the Supply Shaft.
1. Do not touch any moving
parts. To reduce the risk
of fingers, jewellery,
clothing, etc., being
drawn into the moving
parts, be sure to load the
media once the printer
has stopped moving
completely.
2. The Print Head becomes
hot immediately after
printing. Allow it to cool
before loading the media.
3. To avoid injury, be careful
not to trap your fingers
while opening or closing
the cover.
WARNING!
NOTES:
1. When the Head Lever is
turned to
Free
position, the
Print Head is raised.
2. To allow printing the Head
Lever must be set to
Lock
position. (This ensures that
the Print Head is closed.)
There are two head pressure
levels in the
Lock
position.
Set the Head Lever depending
on the media type:
Position : Labels
Position : Tags
However, proper position
may differ depending on
media. For details, refer to
TOSHIBA TEC authorised
service representative.
3. Do not turn the Locking Ring
counter-clockwise too far or it
may come off the Supply
Holder.
CAUTION!
Be careful not to touch the
Print Head Element when
raising the Print Head Block.

q
uality problems.
