Using The Media Take-Up Unit - Canon W7200 User Manual

Using the Media Take-up Unit

When the optional Media Take-up Unit is installed on the W7200, the media
take-up unit can be used to take up printed roll media as it is output from the
printer. This is convenient for very long, continuous print jobs on roll media.
Here is a summary of the general procedure for using the Media Take-up
Unit.

Important
z When using the Media Take-up Unit, do not block the sensor or lay anything on
sensor to ensure that the unit operates correctly.
z When using the Media Take-up Unit, the auto cut feature never cuts the media,
regardless of the Auto Cut setting on the MAIN MENU. However, if the Auto Cut
setting in the printer driver is switched on, the media will be cut. Be sure to check
this setting off before starting the print job.
z The Media Take-up Unit cannot be used with cut sheets.
z The Media Take-up Unit cannot be used with plain paper rolls.
z With some print media, the hue of some colors may change slightly when the ink
on the surface of the media has dried completely. In such a case, wait for the ink to
dry completely before handling the media.
z When printing on thinly coated media or thin, weak media with a large amount of
ink in a location where the humidity is high, the media may be difficult to take up
cleanly without smearing. In such a case, improve the environmental situation such
as relocation or climate control, or use the printer driver set the ink drying time to
insure that the printed media is dry when it is taken up.
