This section explains how to set media. Roll media and leaf media are supported. For details
about supported media or precautions for handling media.
Precautions for Setting Media
Make sure to understand the following precautions before setting media:
•You cannot set media in the following situations:
•When printing
•During maintenance or other operations
•When one of the machine's covers is open
•In Sleep mode
•If media is jammed
•If a service call message is displayed
•If the cable clamp secured to the printer is removed by mistake, it should be reaffixed.
•When loading media, take care not to trap or injure your fingers.
•There is a cutter outside the machine for cutting print media. Do not touch any other parts
other than the ones described in this manual when loading or replacing media, or
removing jammed media. Otherwise, it may cause an injury.
•When performing maintenance on the machine, make sure to wear the attached gloves.
•The supplied gloves are consumables. If they are damaged or lost, use polythene gloves
instead.
•A roll media may be as heavy as 55 kg (121.25 lb.). Hold the roll media horizontally with
both hands. If you hold the roll media vertically or with one hand, the roll media may fall
and cause an injury

About the scales on the machine
The post-heater and pre-heater have a scale display on top. Use this scale as a guide when setting
media.
•Skewing may occur because of uneven stretching of the media at its edges, so do not try to
align the media to "0" on the scale forcefully.

5. The value when placed in a straight line.
The scale on the pre-heater can be used for checking the misalignment at the edge of the media
when loading the media. If the edge of the media is out of the range of the scale, move the roll
holder to adjust the position. Load the media from the paper feeding port, making sure that the
media is stretched evenly. Be sure to load the roll media with the post-heater scales aligned with
the pre-heater scales.
When setting leaf media
Use the 0 position on the scale of the post-heater as a guide for setting the edges of the media.

Setting Roll Media
•Do not leave the media with the heater ON for a long time.
This section explains how to set roll media. Set roll media while the machine's power is turned
on.
If media has already been set, see page 68 "Changing Roll Media".
•Place the media so that it is positioned correctly relative to the arm near the cutter.
•If you touch the cutter part, the arm near the cutter may close. If this happens, move the
media to a position unreachable by the cutter, and then execute [Origin Setting / Cut] to
cut.
•Do not set media on the outside of the left and right media guides. If media is skewed, this
may cause the media to rise and the print heads to be damaged.
•When the edges of roll media are not aligned with the roll core, make sure to align them
before setting media. Failure to do so may cause the edges of roll media to bend or wrinkle.
•Before loading the roll media, open the center cover at the machine's front part, and then
move the media guides to the ends.
1. Grab the handle on the back of the machine to pull out the roll feed unit.

2. Temporarily place set media on the media support.
Place the media in the direction indicated in the following illustration. When using media
whose printing surface is rolled up on the outside

3. Release the roll holder's holding lever on the left side of the back of the machine.
DWT124
4. Move the position of the roll holder to match the roll core size of the set media.
There are two types of inner diameter for the roll core of the roll media: 2 inches and 3 inches.
Move the roll holder to the reference position marked on the machine to match the inner
diameter of the roll core.
DWT125
5. Lock the roll holder's holding lever.
6. Insert the roll core of the roll media to the roll holder. Insert the roll core as far as possible so
that it does not move.

If the roll holder's lock is weak and the media moves, hold the media while attaching it.
7. Release the roll holder's holding lever on the right side of the back of the machine.
When the roll holder is located further inside than the set media, move the roll holder so
that it is located outside the media.

8. While holding the right side of the media, move the roll holder to the left to insert it into
the roll core of the roll media.
Push the roll core until it makes contact with the roll holder. Ensure that the
media does not move vertically.

9. Lock the roll holder's holding lever.
DWT129
Lock the holding lever with the roll holder pressed thoroughly into the roll
core. If the amount of force used to press the roll holder into the roll core is
insufficient, the media may hang down and touch the floor.
10. Return the roll feed unit to its original position.

11. Lift and secure the pre-heater cover.
12. Raise the media holding lever (back).

•If the media is difficult to insert because the edges of the media are getting caught,
diagonally insert the media between the rollers, so that one corner gets inserted first. Ensure
the media is inserted evenly, and begin feeding.
DWT162
•Holding the edge of the media, adjust the angle at the leading edge of the media and load it.
DWT163
•If there is no media on the sensor, the machine cannot detect media successfully. Set media so
that it covers the media sensor on the left side of the feeding surface.
•Withdraw the media approximately one hand grip's worth from the media feeding surface on
the front of the machine.
•If the edge of the media is out of the range of the pre-heater's scale, release the roll holder's
holding lever, and then adjust the roll holder's position.
•Align the edge of the media, and then load the media while adjusting media position by hand
so that it is stretched evenly. It helps to load the media evenly by holding the flange or edge
of the media and controlling the roll media's rotation. When you do this, check scale
indicating the edge of the media.

14. While holding down the center of the media, lower the media holding lever (back).
The pinch rollers lower and the media is fixed.

15. Return the pre-heater cover to its original position.
•After returning the pre-heater cover to its original position, press its ends to
make sure that it is not bulging.
•If you operate the device with a bulge in the pre-heater cover, the cover may
come open during operation or printing.
16. Open the center cover on the front of the machine.
DWT134
17. While holding down the center of the media, raise the media holding lever (front).
The pinch rollers rise and the media is unfixed.
DWT135
18. Holding it at the center, pull the media evenly out of the paper exit.
Align the edge of the media to the post-heater's scale so that it matches the value on
the pre-heater's scale.
