Important:
❏ Do not use the media edge plates with
media that is 0.4 mm or more thick. The
media edge plates could touch and
damage the print head.
❏ Always position the plates so that the edges
of the media are at the centers of the round
holes. Incorrect positioning causes
banding (horizontal banding, tint
unevenness, or stripes) during printing.
❏ Move the media edge plates to the left and
right edges of the platen when they are not
in use.
❏ Do not use the media edge plates if the
sides of the printed media are smudged.

Using the Auto Take-up
Reel Unit
The Auto Take-up Reel Unit automatically takes up
media as it is printed, improving the efficiency of
unmanned operation.
The Auto Take-up Reel Unit for this printer can take up
media in either of the following directions.
Printed side in
Taking-up with printed side in places the printed
surface on the inside of the roll. "Printed side in" is
recommended in most situations.
Basic Operations
Printed side out
15
Taking-up with printed side out places the printed
surface on the outside of the roll.
You can check the procedure in a video on YouTube.

Caution:
❏ Follow the instructions in the manual when
loading media or roll cores or removing media
from the take-up roll.
Dropping media, roll cores, or take-up rolls
could result in injury.
❏ Be sure that your hands or hair do not get
caught in the Media Feeding Unit or Auto
Take-up Reel Unit while it is operating.
Failure to observe this precaution could result
in injury.
Important points for correct
take-up
Observe the following points for correct take-up of
media.
❏ We recommend using a take-up roll core with the
same width as the media. If a take-up roll core of a
different width is used, the take-up roll core may
bend, and the media will be taken up incorrectly.
❏ We recommend "printed side in" for the take-up of
media. "Printed side out" may cause the media to
move around and create a large misalignment with
the roll. When take-up cannot be done correctly
with "printed side out", do take-up using "printed
side in".
❏ Media smaller than 36 inches wide may move
around and be taken up incorrectly.
❏ Do not attach take-up roll cores like the ones shown
in the following figure. The take-up tension will be
uneven and the core will spin loosely. As a result, the
paper cannot wind correctly, which may cause
banding in the print results.
