* Set the rollers ''under'' the white markings.

* Then feed the edge of the roll from the back to the front so that it is under the rollers

* When using a '''sheet''', feed it in making sure that it is under the rollers; also make sure that the right side of the vinyl is facing up;
* Clamp the roll or sheet using the lever by pulling it towards you

=== Types of materials you can use ===

* You can output your design on different types of vinyl and paper, both matte and shiny. Here we offer many colours and finishes (of vinyl, paper can be found in the school shop) but if you are not sure about the type you want to use for your project, ask a student assistant or tutor for advice :)
