Respooling Media

The printer can respool media from one cardboard core to another. You may want to do this if:

◆The media was not taped to its core by the media vendor, which makes tensioning impossible.

◆You want to change the direction that the media unwinds from the core (printed side out vs. printed side in).

Takeup

Fig. 3-12. Respooling load options

1.Load media on the supply.

2.Load an empty cardboard core on the takeup.

3.Slowly pull media from the supply spool to the takeup.

Do not pull the media faster than the supply motor releases it. Route the media directly to the takeup. Do not route it over the platen and heaters.

Ensure that the right and left edges of the media web are perpendicular to the sides of the printer, that the tension appears uniform across the media web, and that the media is not unrolling unevenly (“telescoping”) from the supply spool.

4.Tape the end of the media to the takeup core.
