Step 4:
Select the media measure method.
Refer to
Load mode on page 104
Step 5:
Load the media properly:

It is best to hold the front edge of the media in the middle with one hand and with
the other hand the roll itself.

While holding the roll firmly into position, pull the front edge of the media forward
so that there is an even tension across the whole width of the roll (= equal
tension method)

Do NOT use the drilled holes to align a roll of media! Rolls can only be correctly
installed using the equal tension method.

The holes will help you monitoring if the media is not meandering too much.
Step 6:
Make sure the media is cut off straight at the front to avoid media initialization
mismatches.
Step 7:
Rise the lever as soon as all the correct settings have been made.
