3. The loading process works best with the cut as a square, straight edge. Cut the paper
in a suitable angle.
If the media is not cut square and the operator does not have the ability to cut or tear
a straight edge, then the printer can fail to load the media or even cause a media jam.
The media should not make contact with the platen roller before the sensor detects
the media. The distance between the platen roller and media sensor is approximately
10 mm (0.39 inches).
Important • The wide media sensor (88 and 82.5 mm) and printer's power connector are
both located on the right side of the printer when looking into the printer from the rear. The
media sensor for narrow media (58 and 60 mm) is located on the left side when looking
into the media input slot from the rear of the printer.
