A printer has a support shoe with an arcuate inner surface for receiving a light-sensitive recording media and a write head assembly to record onto media received on the inner surface of the support shoe. The printer includes a web cutting means at the exit end of the support shoe and means for applying vacuum sequentially (1) to a region of the arcuate inner surface furthest from the web cutting means, (2) to the center region of the arcuate inner surface, and (3) to a region of the arcuate inner surface closest to the web cutting means to thereby force media to wrap around the arcuate inner surface. The vacuum may be applied to a center region of the arcuate inner surface to remove slack in a media segment between the center region and the web cutting means. The vacuum to the center region is left on and the vacuum is applied to a region of the arcuate inner surface furthest from the web cutting means and to the center region of the arcuate inner surface, and then to a region of the arcuate inner surface closest to the web cutting means to thereby force media to wrap around the arcuate inner surface.
