Loading Media for Self-Strip Printing

10. Unroll several inches of media and insert it between the two media guides
1-10
Use self-strip printing in applications where you want to apply labels to a
surface immediately. After printing a label, the printer prints out the label with
the backing removed. The rewinder hub collects the backing after passing over
the self-strip assist roller. The rewinder hub can hold the backing from an entire
roll of media.
Note: Attached to the media roll is a small label with a three-digit sensitivity number
printed on it. Make sure you save this label. You need this information to set the
correct media sensitivity number. Refer to "Setting the Media Sensitivity Number" in
Chapter 3 for more information.
Note: If you lift the printhead while printing with self-strip, you may not receive the
best performance from the Precision Print technology. If you must lift the printhead,
remove accumulated liner from the takeup hub before resuming print.
