Attach the roll media guide back and make sure that
the roll media guide pushes snugly against the media
roll to prevent media drift during printing.
5.
Release the purple head lock lever by turning counter
clockwise.
The print head assembly will be lifted up to allow media
loading.
6.
Insert the media into the media guide from a sideways
angle, so that the media passes underneath the media
guide shaft and pitch sensor guide.
Inspect the media routing and verify that the path
matches that illustrated on the inner side of the main
cover.
7.
Lightly push the entire media against the media guide
designated position. Adjust the sliding guide until it
lightly touches the edge of the label.
8.
Now remount the print head by turning the head lock
lever clockwise until it latch on. The print head should
lock into place firmly.
9.
After loading the media and the carbon ribbon, close the
main cover and do a test print to check that the media
roll has been loaded properly. See Section 3.10 Test
Print Mode on page3-24 for instructions on how to run
test print.
Notes:
• Be careful not to get your fingers caught at the bottom
ledge when you are closing the main cover.
• If the optional cutter or dispenser has been pur-
chased, see Section 8 Optional Accessories on
page 8-1 on how to route the media.
Caution
• When replacing media, bear in mind that the print head and its surrounding area remain hot. Keep
your fingers away from these areas to prevent injury.
• Avoid touching even the edge of the print head with your bare hands.
