Step 5: Load the media properly:
 It is best that you hold the front edge of the media in the middle with one hand
and with the other hand the roll itself.
 As you are 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! They are for use with
sheets only. 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: Be sure that the media is cut off straight at the front to avoid media initialization
mismatches.
Step 7: Lower the lever as soon as all the correct settings have been made.

during this action.
