Important Note When Using the Media Clamps
Set the media clamps at the correct locations. If they are not set at the correct locations, the media
may catch, preventing successful printing.
As printing proceeds, the media may move to the left or right and touch or come loose from the media
clamps. After about 1 m (3 ft.) of media has been fed, check the positioning of the media clamps. If
the media looks like it may come loose from the media clamps, adjust the positioning of the media
clamps.
Moving a media clamp to the right edge of the platen as shown in the figure below may cause it to be
hidden by the cutting carriage and make it impossible to detach the media clamp without further action.
If this happens, first load the media, then lower the loading lever. After
move the cutting carriage to a location where it doesn't obstruct the media clamp, then detach or move
the media clamp.

Media clamp
Position the pinch rollers over the grit rollers.
If the message shown in the figure appears when you close the front cover, check the positions of the pinch rollers and the
middle pinch rollers. These must be placed over the grit rollers. Also, if the number of middle pinch rollers installed is greater
than the number of grit rollers used, then detach the extra middle pinch rollers.
Remove when not using roll media.
If roll media is allowed to stand unused in a loaded state for an extended period, the media may sag. This can cause
poor printing quality and motor errors, so be sure to remove and store such media when not in use.
