3. If the roll is long; rest the spindle horizontally on a table and load the roll on the table.

							4.If the edge of the roll is not straight or torn (sometimes due to tape used to hold end of the roll),
pull paper slightly beyond the cutting groove and use a cutter to cut a straight edge.
TIP:Cut the paper as straight as possible, as uneven paper does not load correctly.
5.Insert the edge of the paper into the feeder.
WARNING!Do not push your fingers inside the printers paper path.
6.Roll the spindle into the feeder until you feel resistance. The printer detects the paper and feeds it
automatically into the printer.
7.Once the paper is fed into the printer, the front-panel display asks if you are loading a roll or a
sheet. Select Roll with the Up and Down keys and press OK.

							8.Select your paper category and type.
TIP:If you have loaded a paper type whose name does not appear in the paper list, see The
paper type is not in the driver on page 144.
9.The printer checks the alignment and measures the width.
10.Look at the front panel; you may find some instructions there.
11.When the roll is aligned, the front panel displays the Ready message and the printer is ready to
print. If the roll is not aligned, follow the instructions on the front-panel display.
12.If the paper is loose on the roll, lightly rewind from the end of the spindle until tight.
NOTE:If you have an unexpected issue at any stage of the paper loading process, see The paper
cannot be loaded successfully on page 142.
TIP:When prints fall into the basket, they can be torn or get ink marks from other prints. To avoid this,
catch your prints as they are cut from the roll and do not stack prints in the basket. You can also turn
off the automatic cutter, see 
Turn the automatic cutter on and off on page 53, and release your print
using the Form feed and cut key
