3. B: Determine the positions of the media (transparent media, etc.).

Use the following procedure to determine the positions of the media when using transparent media and media with high reflectance, whose edges cannot be detected.

Procedure
  1. Set the Skewing Correction Support at Setup.
    1. Tap AP-640_Panel_Icon_MENU.
    2. Tap Preferences - Skewing Correction Support at Setup.
    3. Select Disable and tap Save.
    4. Press AP-640_Panel_Icon_HOME to return to the original screen.
  2. Align the left edge of the media with the mark.
    Note the following points when determining the positions.
    • Hold the media holders from the outside and move them.
    • Move the media holders so that the edge of the media is on the right side of the mark.

    Align the left edge of the media with the mark
    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.

  3. Secure the media holders.

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

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

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

  7. Hold the media at the center and pull it out, being sure to keep it straight and all areas of the media to be taut.
    Draw out transparent media
  8. If an auxiliary drying unit (DU3) is installed, insert the leading edge of the media into the dryer.
  9. Make sure the right edge of the media is in line with the guide line (A).

    Go to the front of the printer and make sure you are following the guidelines
    IMPORTANT

    If you want to readjust the media position, return to the back of the printer, release the media holders, and then redo the procedure from step 2. If you just stand at the front of the printer and hold the media to readjust its position forcibly, the media will be skewed during printing or will come loose, which will affect the printing quality.

  10. Lower the loading lever (front).

    The media is held in place.


    Lower the low binding (front side)
  11. Line up the edges of the media with the centers of the holes of the left and right media clamps.

    IMPORTANT

    Be sure to use the media clamps when you set up media.

    If you load the media clamps directly before printing after the media setup is complete, the machine may print on the media clamps.

  12. Close the front cover.
