Load Reverse Wound banner on HP L260

[akuarela]

Hi, we just got this gently used latex printer, and getting to know it. Happy with the quality of prints.
I have a 61" reverse wound banner material that I want to use, have not been able to find any info on how to load it, attaching a picture here of how it is right now. I can imagine that there has to be a setting to tell the roll to roll in reverse while loading, but again, have not found nothing.
Thanks for any tips.
(if you're wondering, yes, this is not digital printing banner, but I've had great luck printing on it with my previous solvent printers)

UPDATE: saw another post on the subject, and went ahead with loading manually (just in case, heavy material). No problem at all, the rolling/unrolling has gone perfectly, now to go and print!

Wouldn't you just flip it around 180 degrees?
If HP can't print a reverse material, it sucks.

I just found another post on the same subject, and went ahead loading the material, indeed, no problem at all! It detected that it is going in the other direction.
Thanks.

Update, results of print

It printed all 10 ft without a glitch. Some spots were a little faded out, but no problem there as it is for our personal use and to be seen from quite a distance.
Here's a picture of the print.

No image.

The white point of that print media looks very bluish.

Yes, the HP's will auto-detect the direction of the roll when going through the loading operation.

Where in Oklahoma are you, akuarela?

Super blue indeed, it's a long left over banner material that we bought when Fellers discontinued a lot of colors, it has tons of plasticisers (sp?) but I've printed with solvents also with good results. It is very durable and tough, more than the printable 13 oz stuff.
