Step 2. Load and Thread the Film

2.1 Identify the matte and smooth sides of the film. Orient the roll so that the matte side will face upward as the film passes across the print platform (See Figure 2.1, left).

2.2 Fit the left end of the roll core onto the left holder first. Slide the right holder into the other end of the core and secure the roll in position (See Figure 2.1, right).

Step 3. Adjust and Align the Film

3.2 Pull the film taut and straight. If the film edges are uneven, raise the pinch rollers and reposition the film until both sides are aligned without protruding. Lower the pinch rollers again (See Figure 3.2, left).

3.3 Slide each edge clip inward so that it overlaps the film edge by approximately 5 mm. Check that the film remains straight and flat to complete installation (See Figure 3.2, right).
