Load a media roll (position 1)

Introduction

You can load your media in the front of the drawer on position 1, or in the back of the drawer on position 2. Load the media for position 1 and 2 similarly for all drawers.

NOTE

To spare your back, it is advised to load an A0 or E-size media roll on position 1 and an A2 or C-size media roll on position 2.
To improve productivity, it is advised to load the most used media in the upper drawer.

CAUTION

Loading heavy media, 10 kg or more, on position 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 has to be done by two people or with the help of external lifting tools.
Watch your fingers when you handle the media roll.

Procedure

Pull firmly to open the media drawer.
Place the new media roll on the roll loading station.
Pull (1) the handle of the roll holder locking mechanism toward you.
Slide (2) the roll holder into the right side of the core of the new media roll.
Align the side of the roll with the center of the correct size indicator on the roll holder and release the handle of the locking mechanism.
Remove the tapes from the new media roll.
