2. Finish setup (sheet media).

Procedure
  1. Make sure both edges of the media are above the grit rollers.
    Be sure to place the right edge of the media on the three grit rollers aligned at the right end.


  2. Move the left and right pinch rollers, placing them on both edges of the media.
    Position them approximately 15 mm (0.59 in.) from each edge of the media.


    Point:
    • Be sure to use the left and right pinch rollers. The force with which the media is pinched varies between the middle pinch rollers and the left and right pinch rollers. Using the middle pinch rollers to pinch the media will lead to unstable media feeding.

    • To move the pinch rollers, push down close to the rail.



  3. Move the middle pinch rollers () over all the remaining grit rollers covered by the media ().
    There are grit patterns () wherever there are grit rollers.
    MEMO:
    Place the middle pinch rollers over all the grit patterns within the media width. If you have forgotten to place the middle pinch rollers, the media will be skewed during printing or will come loose, which will have an effect on the printing quality.


    MEMO:
    • There may be extra middle pinch rollers depending on the width of the media being used. Be sure to remove the remaining middle pinch rollers.


  4. Straighten the media.
    Align the media with the line indicated with the arrow in the following figure.


  5. Lower the loading lever (front).
    The media is held in place.


  6. Line up the edges of the media with the centers of the holes of the media clamps (left and right).


  7. Close the front cover.
    "PRESS ENTER KEY TO SET UP" is displayed on the screen.
  8. Press [ENTER].
    When you press [ENTER], the cutting carriage moves and detects the width of the media. This operation is called initialization. When initialization ends, [SETUP] on the operation panel lights, and the printable width is displayed on the screen.
  9. If you have moved the machine to load the media, return the machine to its original position and fix the casters in place after loading the media.
    1. Orient the casters so that they face forward.
    2. Lock the casters.
    3. Use caster holders to fix the casters in place.
