Load the media properly:
It is best to hold the front edge of the media in the middle with one hand and with

the other hand the roll itself.
While holding the roll firmly into position, pull the front edge of the media forward

so that there is an even tension across the whole width of the roll (= equal
tension method).
Do NOT use the drilled holes to align a roll of media! Rolls can only be correctly

installed using the equal tension method.
The holes will help you monitoring if the media is not meandering too much.

Verify the media is cut off straight at the front to avoid media initialization
mismatches.
Select the media measure method.
