2. A: Determine the positions of the media.

This section describes how to use the suction fan to prevent media skewing. When using transparent media, whose edges cannot be detected, and when Enable Detection under Preferences - Media Edge Detection Method is set to Off, the suction fan does not activate, so media cannot be loaded with this procedure. In these cases, refer to 2. B: Determine the positions of the media (Media Edge Detection Method: off).. By default, Skewing Correction Support at Setup is set to Enable Support.

      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.

    3. Pass the media () under the right media clamp (), and pull it out about 20 cm (7.87 in.) from the edge of the apron ().

      You will hear a beep. Approximately 2 seconds later, you will hear two beeps, and then the suction fan will activate. While this fan is operating, the position of the media will be maintained even if you remove your hands from it.

      MEMO

      When taking up the media (), ensure that the sensor () remains hidden.

      If you take up too much media and make the sensor visible, you will hear two short beeps and the suction fan will stop. If the media comes off or is not straight, take up the media and redo the procedure from step 4.

  5. Place the left media clamp and the left pinch roller.

    Place the left pinch roller () within 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.).
