3. Push the sheet in until it buckles slightly as it hits the stops inside the plotter. (The
buckling should be even across the width of the sheet.) Let go as soon as the plotter
begins to pull the media in.
4. When the front panel displays “Sheet load/Roll load,” press the Up Arrow button to
select “Sheet load.”
5. When the front panel displays “SELECT MEDIA,” press the Up or Down Arrow
button to scroll through and select the media choice. Press the Enter button to set the
plotter for the media type being used. The plotter will now load the sheet of media.
6. The plotter moves the sheet in and out to check its size and alignment, then advances
it to the start of the page. When sheet loading is complete, the “STATUS Ready to
plot” message is displayed.
