A method of loading a medium onto an imaging drum (300) mounted for rotation about an axis, the imaging drum having force providing points to provide an attractive force between the imaging drum and the medium. The steps of the method are: rotating the imaging drum (300) about the axis into a position such that force providing points are located out of a medium load position in which the medium to be loaded first contacts the imaging drum; and maintaining the imaging drum (300) in the position until the medium is in the medium load position. With the medium in the medium load position, rotating the imaging drum about the axis such that the force providing points engage with the medium causing the medium to engage with the imaging drum. Once the medium has engaged with the imaging drum, the medium is allowed to move and the imaging drum is rotated such that the medium is wrapped around and loaded onto the imaging drum (300).
