Using the core from a used paper roll

as a take-up reel core

Before you install a used paper roll as the take-up
reel core, note and check the following:
❏If the paper roll core is deformed or damaged,
it cannot be used as a take-up reel core.
❏Make sure that there is no looseness between
the core and the flanges on the drive unit and
movable unit.
❏To wind up 36-inch wide roll paper, use a 44-
inch wide take-up reel core. To wind up 44-
inch wide roll paper, use a 46-inch paper roll
core. (The optional Take-Up Reel Core
[C815091] for 44-inch wide roll paper is
available for purchase. Contact your dealer.)
Diameters of the knobs on the flange are shown
below.
Length of the take-up reel core as related to th e
width of the roll paper is shown below. Keep a gap
of at least 20 mm between the flanges and the right
and left edges of the roll paper, otherwise the roll
paper cannot be wound up with the auto take-up
reel unit properly.
The installation of the Auto Take-up Reel Unit is
complete. When you use the unit, see the Reference
Guide.
