Once your print file is complete, load the magnet sheeting in the back of the printer (making sure that the rollers are up first).

A note on the rollers:

The rollers should only ever be positioned under the silver markings visible on the printer (see secondary image). In addition, you should only have rollers placed in position over your print media. Basically, you want a roller under every silver marking that is within the length of the print media.

So position the rollers and then align the magnetic sheeting with one of the scoring troughs on the printer bed (it must be self-aligned!). Also, align it to the roller and arm furthest to the right (see secondary picture).

As soon as your alignment is good and you have double-checked the rollers, you have to lower them onto the print media by pulling down the handle on the front left-hand side of the printer (see secondary image).

Turn on the printer, wait for it to position the print media on its own and then using the back arrow, send the magnetic sheeting back as close to the rollers as it will let you position it.
