Setting up the Media
This machine can be used with a leaf media.
For usable media, see "Usable media sizes" (P. 1-29) .
Setting up the Media
• If a suction hole within the suction area is not covered by the media, lay out a thin sheet material such as
paper, film or tape to cover the hole.
• Media peripheral parts may bend back due to heat. Use an accessory such as an adhesive tape to help
secure it in place.
• The table edges (both top and bottom) are provided with guide holes for inserting the layout pins provided
with the printer. Use these guide holes to keep the media straight.
