Setting a narrow roll media
When you use narrow roll media (up to 1m), set the media
on the narrow roll holder.
• When using the media take-up machine, be
careful about the points below:
• At the feeding side, set the printed surface to
"revoluted" (inside out).
• At the take-up side, set the printed surface to
"involuted". (If you set it to "revoluted", it may
adversely affect the media feeding.)

Fix the tension bar of the rear surface side
on the tension-bar lock plate.

machine rear surface. Raise the tension bar and
fix it with the tension-bar lock plate.
