Preparing to Cut: Loading Media
42
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
roll as required to ensure that
no slack develops in 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 cutting plotters have a mid-
dle pinch roller that should be positioned 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.
• Lower the media set lever to raise the pinch rollers.
