LOADING MEDIA
When loading media into the cutter, it is necessary to clearly distinguish two situations.
The first situation is when you are using
cut-sheet media
. The second situation is when
you are using a
roll of media
.
LOADING CUT SHEET MEDIA LOADING ROLL MEDIA
1) Close the safety cover (1), put the pressure rollers in the “up” position using the media
hold lever and turn the power switch ON.
The cutter will perform its initialisation routine and move the tool head to the rightmost
position.
2) Open the protective cover (1) and insert
the media into the cutter. On the
aluminium extrusion, marker lines have
been affixed for alignment purposes. It
is best to position the media so that half
of it hangs in front and half of it hangs at
the back of the cutter.
2) Position the roll of media onto the
conveyor rolls. Open the protective
cover and pull the media through to be
able to choose the best possible
position for the pressure rollers.
