Using The Take-Up Roll - Kodak 210433-1 User Manual

Using the take-up roll

The take-up roll allows unattended printing by automatically winding printed media
onto a core. In this mode, the automatic cutter is disabled. When using this
option, be sure that the media sensor on the printer's right leg is not blocked.
Depending on the ambient humidity, temperature, and amount of ink coverage,
you may want to turn on the dryer and/or set a dry time as described in Chapter
3. If you are using the dryer, position it so that the fans blow on the media.
To use the take-up roll
1 Set the printer to Take-up mode by pressing Setup/Paper Options Menu,
Supply Type/Take-up, then press OK. This enables the take-up roll and
disables the cutter.
2 Install an empty core onto the take-up guides. Be sure that the core width
matches the width of the media you are using.
3 Slide the roll guide into the media core, and secure it by tightening the
locking mechanism. If you moved the sensor mounting bracket before
loading the roll media, be sure to return it to its normal position.
Since media cores can be narrower than the media, position the media
guide 1/8" from the end of the core and lock it into place.
4 Press Feed Media/Forward to advance enough media to allow its
leading edge to come to the center of the take-up roll.
