• When the media is set inward, wait until the count
becomes "0", and then lower the tension bar.

using the tension bar.

with the roll holders.

and the pinch rollers, and push down the
clamp lever.

gently.

right end pinch roller to the right side.
• When using a thick media, remove the media
press from the media before printing.
In this case, set the machine setup of “Setting the
Media Detection” to “MANUAL” ( P.3-17), and
refer to P.2-9 “Setting of the manual media width
setting” and set the media width.
