Media Supply Roll Post

The media supply roll post fi ts both 38-40 mm (1.5 inches) and 76 mm
(3.0 inches) cores because it can be moved up or down in a slot in the
center section. The bottom position is intended for small cores and the
top position is for large cores. The post is locked by a straight-slot screw.
The post has a moveable edge guide to fi t various media widths. As stan-
dard, a low guide is factory-fi tted on the post and a high guide is packed
separately with the other printer accessories. When switching the edge
guide, be careful not to break it. In this manual, the high edge guide is
generally illustrated.
When the edge guide is in its outermost position, it can be tilted down to
a horizontal attitude to allow removal of the empty core and loading of a
new media roll. After loading the media roll, tilt up the edge guide and
push it inwards so the media roll becomes fl ush with the center section.
The low edge guide allows media rolls with 3-inch cores to be loaded
without tilting down the guide.
Optionally, the printer can be fi tted with an 1.5-inch rotating media
supply hub instead of a post and a paper sensor, which detects when
the remaining amount of media has reach a level specifi ed in the Setup
Mode. There are also a 3-inch adapter and a label roll retainer. Another
option is an internal guide for media placed behind the printer (for
example fan-folds). For illustrations, see Chapter 8 "Options".
