Optional accessories Using the Media Take-up Unit This topic describes how to use the Media Take-up Unit. Important • The Media Take-up Unit cannot be used with sheets. • Do not put anything near the Media Take-up Sensor that might interfere with it. This may impair operation. • Rolls are not cut automatically when the Media Take-up Unit is used, regardless of the Cutting Mode setting in the printer menu or the Automatic Cutting setting in the printer driver. • Color tones after printing may change during the ink drying period for some types of paper. Allow ample drying time before the nal check of colors, and do not remove printed documents from the Media Take-up Unit too soon. • In humid environments, documents printed on relatively insubstantial media such as Fabric Banner, Synthetic Paper, or lightweight Coated Paper may not be retracted evenly by the unit. In this case, take steps to control humidity in the operating environment, or adjust the Roll DryingTime or Scan Wait Time settings so that printed documents are retracted after the ink has fully dried. (→P.57) 1. When using the Stationary Output Stacker, stow the Stationary Output Stacker before this procedure. (→P.23) Important • Arrange the Basket Cloth and Basket Rod so they do not interfere with the Media Take-up Sensor. 2. Unlock the ange on the left side of the Rewind Spool by lifting the lever (a) from the shaft side. Remove the ange. 3. When rewinding rolls with 3-inch paper cores, insert the 3-inch Adapter on the anges at both ends. 86 Printer Parts

Using the Media Take-up Unit

This topic describes how to use the Media Take-up Unit.

Important

•

The Media Take-up Unit cannot be used with sheets.

•

Do not put anything near the Media Take-up Sensor that might interfere with it. This may impair

operation.

•

Rolls are not cut automatically when the Media Take-up Unit is used, regardless of the

Cutting Mode

setting in the printer menu or the

Automatic Cutting

setting in the printer driver.

•

Color tones after printing may change during the ink drying period for some types of paper. Allow

ample drying time before the nal check of colors, and do not remove printed documents from the

Media Take-up Unit too soon.

•

In humid environments, documents printed on relatively insubstantial media such as Fabric Banner,

Synthetic Paper, or lightweight Coated Paper may not be retracted evenly by the unit. In this case, take

steps to control humidity in the operating environment, or adjust the

Roll DryingTime

Scan Wait

Time

settings so that printed documents are retracted after the ink has fully dried. (→P.57)

When using the Stationary Output Stacker, stow the Stationary Output Stacker before this

procedure. (→P.23)

Important

•

Arrange the Basket Cloth and Basket Rod so they do not interfere with the Media Take-up Sensor.

Unlock the ange on the left side of the Rewind Spool by lifting the lever (a) from the shaft

side. Remove the ange.

When rewinding rolls with 3-inch paper cores, insert the 3-inch Adapter on the anges at both

ends.
