Go to the Internal Print Server and press the Finish button. The printer rotates the rolls to check their
diameters, and it also checks the width of the roll, the winding direction, the vacuum, and the substrate
advance calibration (this takes about a minute).
NOTE:
Some substrates (such as transparent substrates) cannot be measured by the printer in this
way. In such cases, you will be asked to enter the Left Edge and Width fields yourself into the Internal
Print Server. Use the ruler on the spindle to check these values.

An alert about substrate-advance tracking may appear at this point. For more information on when you
might want to turn off automatic tracking, see

Load a roll (roll-to-free-fall configuration)
The substrate roll is mounted on the input spindle; the printed substrate will be deposited on the floor in
front of the printer. The substrate goes from the input spindle (1) over the main roller (3), over the platen,
over the front diverters (5) and then to the tension roller (7), after which it continues to the floor.
