Tip

The media should be consistently tensioned across its

 

width when attached to the takeup spool. Ensure

 

that the web is straight and smooth from side to side.

 

If necessary, a cardboard core from a roll of masking

 

or other graphic arts tape can be slipped over the

 

spool holder to hold it in place.

 

Loading the media onto a takeup spool that already

 

has some media on it will change the weight of the

 

spool and make it more difficult to inadvertently pull

 

off the media during printing.
