Media Loading Overview
The printer can print on roll or fanfold media and use different print modes for label removal.
Print Modes
The methods for loading media for each print mode follow in this section. Use a print mode
that matches the media being used and the printer options available (Table 5). For more
information on the types of media, see Types of Media on page 25.
Starting a Roll of Media
Exposed media may become dirty when handled or stored. To start a roll of media, remove and
discard one full revolution of labels or tags and any liner.
