material carriers from the box.

Remove the material carriers by first pushing them in to unlatch and then pulling them
outwards.

Loading firmware will take approximately 10 minutes.
CAUTION:
Do not push the material through the material guide back into the
carrier, doing so can cause material to break or become tangled.
