Even if the KIP9000 is printing, it is possible to open the drawer and replace/install the roll
media without interrupting the print operation. However, it is not necessarily allowed to open
any drawer at any time. A certain drawer can not be opened in the following situations.
1. When the roll media is fed from a certain drawer, this drawer can not be opened.
2. When the media (including cut sheet media) fed from other drawer is passing through the
media path in a certain drawer, this drawer can not be opened.
See the following section diagram. Media feeding paths from each Roll Deck is integrated into
one path in the middle drawer. When the KIP 9000 is printing with the roll media fed from the
Roll Deck 1 for example, only the bottom drawer can be opened. (“in use” Indicators for top
and middle drawers will light orange in this case.)
