Load Media: Alternate MethodThis alternate method to load media requires a little more time and effort but it usually providesbetter alignment and therefore less chance of banding in the image. When roll media is notproperly aligned, the result is overstepping on one side and under-stepping on the other side ofthe media so that the band in the printed image is dark on one side and light on the other. Thealternate method is recommended for long print jobs where skewing of the media can becomeprogressively more pronounced or when using media that has some flexibility and thereforeproper alignment is hard to achieve with the standard method.Procedure1. Load the roll on the media shaft and begin the load procedure as described in steps 1 to 5 in thestandard method, to the point where you have advanced the media over the platen until it liesover the bottom media feed roll.2. Align the edges of the hanging media to the supply roll edges.3. Once you have aligned the media edges to the supply roll, without moving the media any further,tape the media to the platen.[40] Tape the media edges to the platenLoad Media: Alternate MethodChapter 7 - Roll Media Option 107
