Attaching the Roll Core to the Auto Take-up Reel

You need to attach the roll core to the auto-take up reel before you can load paper onto the take-up reel.
Note: Make sure the paper is the same width as the roll core. If the paper and roll core are different widths, the paper may not wind correctly.
  1. Set the Auto switch on the take-up reel to the Off position.


  2. Turn on the printer.
  3. Load roll media in the printer.
  4. Move the support bar to the storage position.


  5. Make sure the inner take-up reel sensor is lowered and the caster is positioned parallel to the printer stand.
    Note: If the caster is not positioned parallel to the printer stand, it may interfere with the take-up reel sensors.


  6. Install the roll core holder with the side that matches the size of the paper core facing out.
