Load a cut sheet into the printer The printer is designed to be used with rolls of substrate. It is possible to load cut sheets into the printer, but print quality cannot be guaranteed, and you may have some difficulty in avoiding skew. ● The sheet should be at least 1067 mm (42 in) long. ● Load the sheet by following the normal roll loading procedure (automatic or manual, depending on the substrate). ● During the loading procedure, the printer tries to detect the winding direction of the roll by turning the spindle in both directions. When the substrate is not attached to the spindle, the following message appears. ● A cut sheet is likely to be loaded with excessive skew, and the printer may not be able to correct it automatically. If the skew as measured by the printer exceeds 3 mm/m, you are recommended to reload the sheet. However, if the skew is tolerable, you can consider skipping the automatic skew correction. To do so, when prompted, choose Continue with current skew. Unload a roll from the printer 1. If you used the take-up reel during printing, unload the printed roll from the take-up reel. See Unload the take-up reel on page 74. 2. On the printer's front panel, press , then Unload. Alternatively, you can press , then Substrate > Unload substrate. 3. If the printer has been tracking the length of the substrate, the front panel displays the remaining length so that you can note it for future reference. See Substrate length tracking on page 78.

Load a cut sheet into the printer
The printer is designed to be used with rolls of substrate. It is possible to load cut sheets into the printer, but
print quality cannot be guaranteed, and you may have some difficulty in avoiding skew.
The sheet should be at least 1067 mm (42 in) long.
Load the sheet by following the normal roll loading procedure (automatic or manual, depending on the
substrate).
During the loading procedure, the printer tries to detect the winding direction of the roll by turning the
spindle in both directions. When the substrate is not attached to the spindle, the following message
appears.
A cut sheet is likely to be loaded with excessive skew, and the printer may not be able to correct it
automatically. If the skew as measured by the printer exceeds 3 mm/m, you are recommended to
reload the sheet. However, if the skew is tolerable, you can consider skipping the automatic skew
correction. To do so, when prompted, choose
