The tension bar
When in use, the take-up reel requires a dangling loop of substrate weighed down by a tension bar. The
tension bar can be moved with the take-up reel buttons or by using the Move paper or Rewind paper options
in the front panel.
Load a roll onto the take-up reel
NOTE: Take-up reels with 51 mm (2 in) or 76 mm (3 in) diameter can be used.
1.
On the printer's front panel, press , then Take-up reel.
Instructions are displayed on the screen; slide your finger laterally across the front panel to follow the
instructions to the end.
2. If you decide to load the take-up reel during printing, familiarize yourself with the procedural steps
before pressing the Enable button. Loading the take-up reel during printing requires you to complete
the procedure while the printer is feeding and printing substrate. Loading the take-up reel during
printing saves approximately 1.5 m (4.9 ft) of substrate.
TIP: You are recommended to keep the take-up reel winding-direction switch in the off position (see
Unload the take-up reel on page 74 ) to avoid unwanted movements when loading the take-up reel
while printing. Once you have the leading edge of the substrate attached to the core, and the substrate
is straight, switch the winding-direction switch to position 1 or 2, as you prefer. Setting 1 winds the
substrate so that the printed image faces in, setting 2 winds the substrate so that the printed image
faces out.
The following steps assume that you have decided to load immediately. If you decide to load later,
during printing, you must complete the same operations without guidance from the front panel.
3. For easier access to the take-up reel, lift the loading table into its upright position.
