On the control panel, press the Turn On Fans key. 9. Lower the input (4) and output media rollers (5) to their lowest positions. 10.

Tape the end of the media to printer side of takeup roller, starting in the middle and working out to both ends. Be sure to maintain even tension across the width of the media. 18. Release the dancer bar locking lever. 19. Press the Proceed (►) key. 20. Enter the media length or press the Esc key for an undefined length. ENWW Load and print on roll-fed media 25
