1. B: Determine the positions of the media.

This section describes how to determine the positions of the media without using the suction fan. Refer to this information when using transparent media, whose edges cannot be detected, and when "EDGE DETECTION" or "SKEWING CORR" is set to "DISABLE".
Procedure
  1. Open the front cover.
  2. When the print head height is "LOW" or "HIGH", move the media clamps to the outside of the grit rollers on the left and right edges respectively.


  3. When the print head height is "SpLOW", remove the media clamps.
    The media clamps must be removed to perform setup.
  4. Move to the rear of the printer and open the rear UV shield.

  5. Release the locking mechanisms of the media holders, and then draw them to the left and right ends respectively.


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


    MEMO

    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.

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

    At this time, the message "PRESS ENTER KEY TO SET UP" is displayed on the screen, but do not press [ENTER] yet, and proceed to the next step.



  8. Close the rear UV shield.

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


  10. Pull out the media over the apron.


  11. 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.


  12. 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.


    IMPORTANT

    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 edges will lead to unstable media feeding.

    MEMO

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



  13. Move the middle pinch rollers () over all the remaining grit rollers covered by the media ().
    There are grit patterns () wherever there are grit rollers.


    IMPORTANT
    • 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.
    • 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.


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


  15. Lower the loading lever (front).
    At this time, the message "PRESS ENTER KEY TO SET UP" is displayed on the screen, but do not press [ENTER] yet, and proceed to the next step.
    IMPORTANT If you want to readjust the media position before securing it in place, redo the procedure from step 6.
