2 Determine the positions of the media.

  1. Determine the left and right positions of the media with the grit patterns used as the reference.
    Note the following points when determining the positions.

    • Hold the media holders from the outside and move the media.

    • Ensure that the left edge of the media is positioned so that it is within the range of the grit pattern of the left edge.

    • Ensure that the right edge of the media is positioned so that it is within the range of one of the grit patterns.



    CAUTION:

    Do not hold places other than those instructed. Do not move the media by holding it directly.

    Otherwise the media may fall off the media holder and cause injury.

    IMPORTANT:

    Firmly decide the left and right side positions of the media at this point.

    After this procedure is completed, if the left and right side positions do not fit the proper positions when securing the media with pinch rollers, you will have to go back to this step to redo this procedure. If you just hold the media to readjust its position forcibly, the media will be skewed during printing, which will have an adverse effect on the printing results.

  2. Secure the media holders by tightening the retaining screws.


  3. Pass the leading edge of the media between the pinch rollers () and the grit rollers ().


    Point:

    If the media cannot be loaded properly because the media suction is too weak or too strong, press PAUSE. Each time you press PAUSE, the suction force is switched between three levels.

  4. Lower the loading lever (rear).
    The media is held in place.

    At this time, the message PRESS ENTER KEY TO SETUP is displayed on the screen, but do not press ENTER yet. Proceed to the next step.



  5. Close the UV shield (rear).


  6. (Move to the front of the printer.) Gently hold down the media and raise the loading lever (front).
    The media is released.


  7. Pull out the media over the apron.
