3.4 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.

Load the media at the right side of the printer. Position the media next to the media setting position (line of little holes in the
media guide platform). The maximum distance between the guideline and media is 5 mm. Set the width of the media in the
Utility menu in SetupMenu 4/7.
(**)
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.
