The printer advances the substrate. Make sure that the substrate passes in front of the loading table, as shown.

11.Pull the substrate taut to the position shown in the following figure. Do not attempt to pull more substrate out of the printer. Use tape to secure the substrate to the spindle core, taping it in the center first. You may need to use more tape than is shown in the following image. The substrate should be secure enough to support the weight of the loop-shaping core, which you insert in step 12.

NOTE: If you are loading the take-up reel during printing you do not need to pull the substrate taut. Tape the substrate to the spindle core when an adequate length of substrate has fed from the printer after printing begins.

NOTE: To avoid having the substrate skew as it winds onto the spindle core, make sure the substrate is straight when you attach it, and aligned with the input roll. It is sometimes useful to use the core grooves to align the substrate.
