Note for media setting
When setting media, read the following notes carefully.
• Take care not to drop the media on your foot when setting the media.It may cause an injury due to the
media.
• When setting a heavy roll media, work by two or more people. Otherwise, you may hurt your back by
the weight of the roll media.
• Handle the clamp lever carefully.
It is dangerous to push the lever up when the tension-bar is lifted. Be sure to fix the tension-bar with
the lock and push up / down the lever.
• In the following cases, the media may not be detected correctly.
• When setting a transparent media / when a media is exposed to direct sunshine.
• Do not use a printed media. Otherwise, ink can adhere to the pinch rollers and media may be stained
or may not be detected.
• Straighten the significantly or internally curled media to be fed along the platen.
• If the media is left set on the machine for a long time, the media may form an irregular surface for the
heat from the print-heater. If printing on such an irregular surface, the head may rub on the media. If
an irregular surface is found on the media, feed the media with the key to avoid printing on the
irregular surface, and set a new origin. ( P.2-28)
• Set a media in the center of the machine.
This machine can print on the media set on the right side, however, some types of media may be fed
on a skew or stick on the platen. By setting media in the center of this machine, it stably feeds the
media.
