Takeup Options You can enable and disable the takeup system at the control panel. See Takeup Control under “Print Settings” on page
◆When enabled, before each print job the takeup system automatically detects whether any media is attached to the takeup spool and operates the takeup motor as needed.
◆When disabled, the takeup motor will not operate, and will not attempt to detect whether media is attached to the takeup spool.
When printing one print at a time, you may choose to not use the takeup system at all. In this case, advance the media, cut the finished print from the roll, then back up the media for the next print. (To advance and back up the media using the control panel, see “Front Page” on page
Caution If you do not use the takeup system, the software assumes that you are cutting individual prints as they are printed. If you send a large number of jobs to the printer without the takeup system loaded, and allow printing to continue unattended, the prints will pile onto the floor.
You can also configure the takeup system so it winds the image facing to the inside or outside of the spool. This is useful if your laminator or other finishing equipment has a certain requirement for its supply spools. See Takeup Control under “Print Settings ” on page
Linearization When changing media types, you should perform a color calibration or linearization (if supported by the RIP). This compensates for the differences between medias that affect color accuracy. For further information, see “Linearization” on page 4- 23.
When replenishing the media supply with the same type of media, relinearization is unnecessary unless print color quality has changed noticeably.
