When a “Misaligned” message is displayed, the printer unloads the media. Press ENTER to continue and the printer will display the “Ready for paper” status message.
Do the following:
-
Check for even tension across the width of the media. If there is less tension on one side than the other, then the media is not straight in the in-feed slot.
-
There is a hole on the right side of the in-feed slot. Make sure the edge of the media is aligned with the left side of this hole.
-
Lower the roller levers on both sides and adjust the media so that tension is even across the whole width. Turn the spindle disk quickly two or three times away from you and then two or three times in the opposite direction. This will help to create an even tension.
-
Lift the roller levers on both sides and try to load the media again.
If this does not solve the problem, remove the media from the in-feed slot and repeat the loading procedure. Make sure the roll is against the right hand spindle disk (fully inside the roll core), and do the same for the left hand spindle disk. The printer verifies correct alignment using the blue line on the right hand side of the printing area as a reference.
