Preparing to Cut: Loading Media
39
To adjust the pinch roller positions:
• Position the left and right pinch rollers to
correspond with the width of the media.
• When moving the media to the
left or right be sure to move the
pinch rollers as required to hold
down the media within the
appropriate range.
• Be sure to position the pinch
rollers so that they are not
located right at the edges of the
media or grit rollers.
• The FC5100-100 and FC5100-
130 plotters have a middle
pinch roller that should be posi-
tioned in the center of the
media.
CAUTION: The location of the middle pinch roller on the FC5100-100 and FC5100-130
cutting plotters effects the cutter’s performance.
• If the middle pinch roller
is not positioned in the
center range of the
media and located over
the grit roller, the media
will not feed evenly.
CAUTION: When cutting narrow media that is 10 inches or less, the position of the left and
middle pinch rollers will effect the performance of the FC5100-100 and
FC5100-130 cutting plotters. The position of the narrow media will effect the
media sensors.
CAUTION: Always load media from the largest grit roller so that the photo sensor can
sense the media.
