Feed and retract media manually

Introduction

You can feed the media to the platen or to the tape position, without sending a print job.

Feed flexible media manually

When you feed the media manually, the printhead carriage will move over the media to scan the side edges.

If the media you use requires a leading strip of rigid media then it is required to check the [Requires Manual Loading]  setting in the [Media Characteristics] section of the RIP software. With this setting the scan will take place just before printing.

NOTE

The setting [Requires Manual Loading]  only works when [Winding tension]  is set to [Tension bar]  or [Locked tension bar].

Procedure

  1. Load the media. For more information see Prepare media for printing.
  2. On the operator panel tap on the [Media]  icon on the right.
  3. Tap on the arrow to select the roll you want to feed.
  4. Tap on [Feed]. The printer feeds the media in the correct position to tape the media or to start printing, depending on the type of media.
  5. Tap on [Retract]  to retract the media to the drawer.
    NOTE

    You can retract the media only when the media is not yet at the taping position.
