3. To adjust the tension on the spindle, slide the switch to H for high
tension, or
N for normal.
Switch to high tension when printing on fine art paper, cloth, or other
media that weigh less than 100 g/sm. See your on-screen User’s Guide for
a list of media that require the high tension setting.
Loading the Paper onto the Spindle
Follow these steps to attach the roll to the spindle:
1. Slide the black paper stop (flange) off the left end of the spindle.
2. Position the roll so the paper unwinds as shown, then slide the spindle
into the roll. Make sure the gray paper stop at the right end of the
spindle is firmly locked into the core and there is no gap between the
paper and the paper stop.
3. Slide the black paper stop back onto the spindle and insert it into the
end of the roll.
Make sure it is firmly locked into the left end of the
paper roll core.
Note: The spindle
accommodates both
2-inch and 3-inch roll
paper cores. To switch
between different size
cores, see page 53.
Avoid touching the
printable surface of
the paper as much as
possible. Oils from
your skin can affect
print quality.
Make sure there is no gap here
