Step 2   

Load your media on the platen and slide it under 
the pinch rollers from either the front side or the 
backside. The

Step 3   

Then move the pinch rollers manually to the proper position. Be sure the pinch rollers must be 
positioned above the grid drum. The 

white marks

 on the main beam will remind you where 

the grid drums are (Figure 2-14).
