There are four tasks required to complete loading of media on the take-up reel: The first part of attaching
a roll to the take-up reel is attaching the end of the roll (by tape) to the core tube supplied with the take-up
reel. You can also use an empty cardboard tube. Both types of core must be the same length as the roll
you are using.
●
Set the take-up reel for clockwise or anti-clockwise winding.
●
Define the winding mode.
●
Load media onto the take-up reel.
●
Calibrate media advance.
Set the take-up reel winding direction
Winding for printing on the outside of the roll (3) or the inside of the roll (2) can be selected. When the take-
up reel is not used, set the take-up reel switch to off (1).
NOTE For LOOSE winding mode, make sure that the media passes inside the take-up reel
sensor (1).
If the take-up reel is not used, turn the take-up reel switch off.
Make sure that you change the media roll on the take-up reel before the roll size exceeds the
diameter of the take-up reel media hub. Replace the core tube with a new one to avoid winding
errors.
