Loading Roll Media - Gerber Jetster Owner's Manual

Loading roll media

Following this procedure to load Roll media without the Take-up system. When Roll media is
selected, the Gerber Jetster will search for the front edge of the roll before printing.
To load roll media
1 Open the cover, check that the head is in a position where it will not touch the media
keeper blades on the pressure rollers. Put the media hold lever up. The display is:
Lever up
2 Press the [Media] key to select Roll media. By pressing the key repeatedly you will see
the LED alternate between the three choices: Roll, Sheet, or Take-up (both LEDs lit).
Note: If you select cut-sheet when a roll is loaded, the printer will pull off the maximum cut-
sheet length, (about 54"/137 cm) searching the back edge of the sheet. When the printer fails to
find the back edge of the sheet it reports a media search error.
3 Remove the removable flange from the scroller by pulling it off.
CAUTION: Do not drop the media roll over the scroller as this might damage the
scroller end caps. Damaged end caps can cause media tracking problems.
4 Position the roll media as shown in the diagram and insert the scroller until the media
tube fits firmly over the fixed flange. Replace the removable flange on the scroller and
fit it firmly into the media tube as shown in the following illustrations.
