5. On the control panel, press the upper (forward) Advance Media arrow key to advance the media,
with the vacuum fans on.
You may need to hold the media down on the belt until the vacuum grabs it.
● If using the takeup system, advance the media until it hangs on exit side down to the takeup
roller. Do not tape the media to the core at this time.
● If not using the takeup system, advance the media at least past the output media roller (5).
During printing, make sure that the media does not fall behind takeup rollers (6) (7) and (8).
6. On the control panel, press the Turn Off Fans key.
7. Hold the upper (forward) Advance Media key down for about five seconds.

7 through 9, and optionally steps 4 and 5, until no wrinkles are visible.
11. Place the foam press roller (3) into operating position.
12. If you are not using the takeup system, go to step 19.
13. Align the cardboard takeup core to the media and tighten the collets to lock the core in place.

15. Pull the media under the first dancer bar, over second dancer bar (7), and down to the printer side
of takeup roller (8).
