3-1 The Media Take-up System

Features of the Media Take-up System

Using the media 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 Media Take-up System

Never Use When Performing Cutting
Never use the media take-up system when you're performing cutting operations. Use is possible only
when performing printing.
Use During Dual-pass Printing Not Possible
When you're performing dual-pass printing, the media must be pulled back, and so the media take-up
unit cannot be used.

When using the media 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."
 When feeding out media toward the front of the machine by pressing
sure to set the base point.
 If the setting for pulling back media after printing has been made on the computer,

position (the page spacing) at a value of 120 millimeters or more.
 Set the [PREFEED] setting-menu item to "DISABLE."
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. (When the
[MEDIA CLAMP] menu item is set to [LONG], media cutoff is not performed.) Take-
up quits as soon as the media is cut off.
