Loading Media

Loading media into the printer is an easy process. Follow the instructions below to properly
adjust the paper guides and load the media.
1. Loosen the green thumbscrew at the back of the printer to adjust the green media
guides so that the media contacts both sides of the green guides.
2. Retighten the green thumbscrew once the guides have been adjusted.
3. Feed the media into the paper path, between the green guides, until you feel
resistance.
4. Once the printer detects paper in the printer, it will automatically feed and align the
paper so that it is properly positioned.
5. If the Autoload feature is disabled, you may also manually feed the paper through the
printer by lifting the print head release at the top of the printer and feeding the paper
through the printer.
6. Also, if the print button is pushed and held, the printer will manually feed the media
through the printer.
7. Once the media exits the front of the printer, release the Print Button.
