How do I load/unload media

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.
