13.The front panel asks you to specify the length of the roll you are loading. After you have done so, it will start to load the roll.
NOTE Specifying the roll length is not obligatory (you can select Not known) and has no effect on the printer's behavior. However, if you give the length, subsequently the printer will keep track of how much paper is used, and will keep you informed of the remaining length (assuming that the value you originally gave was accurate).
14.If the printer's first attempt to load the roll is unsuccessful, it will automatically wind the paper backwards and try again without requiring any assistance.
If this second attempt is unsuccessful, it will try a third time, but this time the front panel will request your assistance.
15.The printer will perform a color calibration, if it has not already calibrated the paper type you are using, and if color calibration is turned on. See Perform color calibration.
16.The front panel displays the Ready message and the printer is ready to print.
The roll currently ready to print is shown highlighted on the front panel (roll 1 in the above example).
