3-1 The Take-up System
Features of the Take-up System
Using the take-up system lets you perform printing while the media is taken up automatically. This makes possible
unattended operation at night and efficient printing of lengthy media.
Operating Conditions for the Take-up System
Settings Related to Media Feed
When using the take-up system, to avoid pulling media with undue force, be sure to observe the following points.
Operations that pull the media with undue force, such as unsuitable take-up by the take-up system, can cause
printing to stop or result in misalignment of the printing position.
➢Never use
➢Never operate the MANUAL switch for the take-up unit when the loading lever is pulled back.
➢When loading and setting up media, set the [SETUP SHEET] menu item to "TU."
➢Set the [FEED FOR DRY] menu item to "DISABLE."
P. 88, "Drying the Trailing Edge of the Printing Area on the Dryer"
When Performing Continuous Printing of Two or More Pages
When you're performing continuous printing and take-up for two or more pages, give attention to the following
points.
➢If the setting to execute automatic cutoff of the media can be made on the computer, then turn this setting off.
Making the setting on the computer to execute automatic cutoff of the media results in media cutoff after each
page is printed. (If the media clamps are installed, the clamps are detected and the cutoff operation is not
performed.) Take-up quits as soon as the media is cut off.
➢On the computer, set the margin from the print-end position to the next print-start position (the page spac-
ing) to 40 millimeters or more. Setting this to a value of less than 40 millimeters may cause the media to be
pulled with undue force and result in printing being interrupted.
