3-26 Loading Media
Loading Media Wear cotton gloves during this procedure, or handle the media
only by its very outside edges. This will prevent skin oils from
being deposited on the media, which could render output qual-
ity unacceptable.
Tip
For best results, use genuine ColorSpan media. All
ColorSpan media is provided on two-inch cores in
lengths to ensure accurate media advance.
Caution
Do not store or rest a media roll on either end before
loading it onto a spool. This could result in an inden-
tation on the edge of the media, which can be struck
by the printhead carriage during printing.
1. Ensure that the fixed collet (with the metal pin) is in the
proper location on the supply spool.
The collet is designed to accommodate 2-inch and 3-inch
cores.
◆ If you are loading media with a 2-inch core, set the col-
let into the outside (closest to the home side) hole of the
spool. This is how the collet is installed at the factory.
◆ If you are loading media with a 3-inch core, set the col-
let into the inside hole (closest to the far side) of the
spool. Tighten the pin with a 5/16-inch hex wrench.
2. Load the media roll onto the spool.
3. Load and secure the other collet against the end of the media
roll.
The far-side collet does not have a metal pin. Push the collet
into the core, and friction will hold it in place.
