Adjusting The Media Support Disks
Media Core Size
Media supplied for the P4T Se-
ries printers will have two pos-
sible core sizes, depending on
the media type. Journal media
and most label media is supplied
with a 0.75” [19.1 mm] diameter
core to maximize the amount of
media contained on a roll.
P4T printer media supports are
set at the factory for 0.75” diam-
eter media cores.
RP4T printers (equipped with
the RFID encoder) are configured
for media with 1.38” [35.05 mm]
diameter cores since RFID me-
dia cannot be wound around
a small diameter core without
both degrading its ability to feed
properly past the printhead and
causing possible damage to the
embedded RFID circuitry.
Changing The Media Support
Core Diameter Size
It may become necessary to
change the media core size in
the field to allow use of different
media.
The media support disks are
designed for both sizes of media
cores, and they can be adjusted
by removing them, flipping their
position and re-securing them to
the printer.
1. Open the Media Cover and
remove any label media.
2. Use Phillips head screwdriver
with a long blade to keep the
screw attaching the Support Disk
to the printer from turning.
3. Rotate the Support Disk while
keeping the attachment screw
from turning, and remove it.
4. Flip the Media Support Disk
so that the desired core diameter
ridge faces towards the inside of
the printer. Please refer to Figure 8.
5. Re-secure the Support Disk by tighten-
ing it onto the attaching screw. Do not over
tighten the Support Disk. It must be able to spin
freely.
Repeat this procedure on the other Support Disk.
Always ensure that both Support Disks are adjusted for the
same size media core.
Replace the Media Support Disks if they have been adjusted
for dierent core sizes more than 5 (ve) times.
