Basic Operations

Precautions When
Handling Media
If the following points are not observed when handling
media, small amounts of dust and lint may stick to the
media surface and cause ink drops in the print results or
cause the nozzles to clog.
Do not place exposed media directly on the floor.
Media should be rewound and inserted in its original
packaging for storage.
Do not carry media with the media surface pressed
against clothing.
Handle media in its individual packaging until just
before loading the media in the printer.

Notes on Loading Media

Caution:
❏ The heater may be hot, so observe all necessary
precautions while doing work. Failure to
observe the necessary precautions could result
in burns.
❏ Because the media is heavy, it should not be
carried by one person. We recommend using a
lifter for media that weighs over 40 kg.
❏ Be careful not to trap your hands or fingers
when opening or closing the front cover. Failure
to observe this precaution could result in
injury.
❏ Do not rub your hands along the edges of the
media. The edges of the media are sharp and
can cause injury.
Load the media just before printing.
The pressure rollers may crease media left in the printer.
The media may also become wavy or curled, causing
jams or resulting in the media coming into contact with
the print head.
Do not load media if the right and left edges are
uneven.
If media is loaded and the right and left edges of the roll
are uneven, media feeding problems may cause the
media to move around during printing. Either rewind to
align the edges or use a roll without any issues.
Media that cannot be used
Do not use media that is folded, wrinkled, scuffed, torn,
or dirty. The media could rise up and contact the
printheads and damage them.
