Note: Always use a take-up core the same width as the supply media that is being
installed.
8.
Work the media over the front dancer and around the back of the take-up roll (see
Figure 3-10). Before proceeding to step 9, walk behind the machine and verify that
the left edge of the media is straight and that no coning or sliding has occurred. The
left edge of the roll should be straight.

Align the media with the right side take-up core edge, then tape along the core in five
places. Tape the leading edge of the media to the core at the right side first, then the
far left side, and then in three more places equally spaced at the middle (see Figure 3-
11).
10.
Turn the take-up core with the taped media one revolution (see Figure 3-12).
Disengage the pinch roller handle so that the left and right pinch rollers (only) touch
both the media and the drive roll. Flip up all others.
