3.3.3 Media retainers (media holder)
The media cockling causes the transfer paper edges to curl. Media retainers keep the media edges pushed
down on the print platform.
Notes
When using roll media, we recommend you to always use the media retainers.
When using sheet media, media retainers are not necessary. If used, please make sure you load the
media correct. Otherwise, media can slant and the media retainers could tear the transfer paper.
Notes
When using media holder, make sure to firmly set it to the platen of the printer unit.
In case the media holder declines or loosens, it might hit the print head and cause trouble.
Notes
When using the media holder, please do the following :
± Set to Normal or TakeupReel on the Media Detection menu.
± When setting the Media Detection menu to OFF, define a smaller value than the media width on
the Media Width menu.
