people. Otherwise, you may hurt your back by the
weight of the roll media.

the head height is adjusted after the media is set,
this may cause a media jamming, deterioration of
the print quality or head damage.

to set it so that it covers one of the two media
sensors on the back of this machine.

extension cable.
