Basics
3.2 MEDIA HANDLING
Loading, installing and setting media are very important handlings when you want to obtain a perfect print
quality. When the media is not loaded centrally, not installed properly… head crashes, banding can occur.
Also the complete winding system should be installed and aligned properly by an Authorized Mutoh
Technician.
3.2.1 Setting media type in detail
After lowering the pressure rollers, you will be asked each time to set the media type. Even if it is a sheet of
roll, different profiles are possible to select.
[F1]-key Lever UP
[F2]-key Browse trough the media profiles
(lower left corner)
[F4]-key Start media measurement using the
selected profile in the lower left corner.
Please find below the different profiles and decide which one to use.

Use “Roll LeftRight” for flexible media and “Roll LeftRightTop” for rigid media. In the second option, a media cut test will be
performed which means scrolling back and forward of the media (backwards feeding). When loading flexible media, it could
get stuck into the media groove and can cause head strikes.
