11. Pass the leading edge of the substrate through the printer, over the main roller and the front roller to the tension roller. 12. Once in front of the printer, if you find that you haven't unrolled enough substrate, select Start main roller motion to unroll some more. The substrate unrolls only when you pull it. TIP: When passing the substrate's leading edge behind the tension roller, it is important to have no excess substrate between the front roller and the tension roller, although you can leave excess substrate before the front roller at this stage. Once the leading edge has been passed behind the tension roller, you can roll a stiff substrate downwards at the front roller or pull a flexible substrate from under the tension roller through the holes provided in the substrate guide around the roller. Handle the substrate 13. At the rear of the printer, measure the distance between the printer's left side plate and the left edge of the substrate. This distance should be at least 145 mm (5.7 in), otherwise the edge of the substrate may go out of the print zone and start touching the printer covers. 14. At the front of the printer, the right edge of the substrate on the tension roller should be at the same distance (A) from the right side plate as the distance measured on the input side. NOTE: There is a square indentation in the right side plate in front of the tension roller. You should measure the distance between the substrate edge and the inside of this indentation. NOTE: When loading non-elastic substrates, a difference of 2-3 mm (0.01 in) between the measurements from the rear side plate and front side plate may be acceptable without problems of skew or wrinkles.
