1. Determine the positions of the media.

When loading sheet media in the machine, use the right edge of the media as a reference. This is because the range of movement of the right pinch roller is fixed.

Place the media in a position where the following conditions are met and where media waste will be minimized.
  • Position of right edge of media

    Within the right pinch roller movable range and where about 10 mm (0.39 in.) between the right roller edge of the right pinch roller and the right edge of the media can be secured.

  • Position of left edge of media

    Where about 10 mm (0.39 in.) between the left edge of the roller and the left edge of the media can be secured when placing the left pinch roller within the range of the grit pattern.

  4. Use the following procedure to load the media.
    1. Pass the media () under the right media clamp ().
      MEMO

      If the left edge of the media hits the left media clamp, pass the media under the left media clamp.

      MEMO

      Lifting the tip of the media clamp to pass the media through may cause the blade to come into contact with the media. Be careful not to allow contact with the blade.

    2. Pass the media () between the right grit roller () and the pinch roller () and feed the media to the back.

      Feed the media and line up the edge of the media with the edge of the apron ().

      MEMO

      If the left edge of the media is left of the left pinch roller, pass the media between the left grit roller and left pinch roller as well.

  6. Press lightly on the media, and place the left media clamp and left pinch roller on the media.
    1. Position the left pinch roller within the range of the grit pattern .

      Ensure that margin A from the left edge of the media to the left edge of the left pinch roller is at least 10 mm (0.4 in.).

      PinchPos
      MEMO

      If at least 10 mm (0.4 in.) cannot be ensured for margin A from the left edge of the media to the left edge of the left pinch roller, move the right pinch roller and the media to the left to provide the margin.

      The range of motion of the right pinch roller is fixed. Place the right pinch roller within the movable range in a position that ensures margin A from the right edge of the media to the right edge of the right pinch roller is about 10 mm (0.39 in.).

      Feed approximately 2/3 of the length of the media and check that the media stays aligned.

      If the media comes off or is not straight, redo the procedure from step 4.

    3. Click UtilityMoveUP to return to the position before feeding.

      If the media comes off or is not straight, redo the procedure from step 4.
