roll holder location

[cardfan4342]

What location height wise on the roll holder on a fc7000-75 do most use with as little jerk and smoothest cutting. I believe there are 4 possible locations. have been using the second down from top and experience occasional reload media errors because of jerking. I try to pre feed material but sometimes forget or get busy mid cut any advice would be appreciated Doug

Must always prefeed enough not to jerk the motor on any plotter !

Tough to remember, but after a few dozen yards of vinyl, you'll remember !

I've got mine at the top on the rear of the machine.
Still need to pre-feed the roll though - no way out of that.

I'm considering swapping over to front loading so it's easier to load & unload a roll and also easy to manually unwind by hand rather than using the keypad.
Anyone out there using front load? Good or bad?
