Note: Prior to loading media, take a moment to review the media guides. They are spring
loaded to provide improved media control during printing. The right media guide has
a green locking tab, which holds the guides in place. Once the guide is set to the
width of the media, it can be locked in place and future loading of media is simpli-
fied.
Loading Media

3b depending on media type. For step 4, the media must be placed under
the media guide bar, or media wandering can occur.
