7. Open the top cover and look inside. You see the edge of the film on the back side
of the opening. Gently push the film roll forward so that the leading edge of the

enough pressure to move the film forward.
Step 2: Install the printer software and driver

printer. Make sure you install the Software Updater utility and run it to download the
latest driver and firmware for your printer.
