  6. From the rear of the printer, pass the leading edge of the media between the pinch rollers (A) and the grit rollers (B).
    IMPORTANT If the leading edge of the media is bent, cut the bent part before loading the media, as it may be difficult for the media to enter the dryer entrance.

    You will hear a beep. Approximately 5 seconds later, you will hear two beeps, and then the suction fan will activate. While this fan is operating, the media will not move backward even if you remove your hands from it.

    When loading the media from the front of the printer, feed the leading edge of the media (the side where printing will start) over the platen, and then pull the media to the front to activate the suction fan.

    Be sure to use the media clamps when you load media.

    If you attach the media clamps directly before printing after the media setup is complete, the machine may print on the media clamps.
