There are two slightly different procedures for loading a roll onto the take-up reel, depending on which substrate type and therefore which loop-shaper is used: see See Load a roll onto the take-up reel (banner/textile/mesh substrates) on page 35 and Load a roll onto the take-up reel (other substrates) on page 41.
Load a roll onto the take-up reel (banner/textile/mesh substrates)
1.On the printer's front panel, select the
icon, then select Take-up reel > Enable take-up reel.
2.The front panel offers you the choice of loading the take-up reel immediately, or during printing.
If you decide to load the take-up reel during printing, familiarize yourself with the procedural steps. Loading the take-up reel during printing requires you to complete the procedure while the printer is feeding and printing substrate. Loading the take-up reel during printing saves approximately 1 m (3 ft) of substrate.

loaded, you can save some time by selecting Load it during printing.
The following steps assume that you have decided to load immediately. If you decide to load later, during printing, you must complete the same operations without guidance from the front panel.
