8. Reload the roll. See Load a roll into the printer on page 26. 9. If some paper continues to cause an obstruction within the printer, it can often be cleared by loading a rigid paper type into the printer. 10. If you find that you have print-quality problems after a jam, try realigning the printheads. See Align the printheads on page 57. Check the paper path ● This problem can occur when a roll has finished and the end of the roll is stuck to the cardboard core. If this has happened, cut the end of the roll away from the core. Then feed the paper through the printer, and load a new roll. ● Otherwise, follow the procedure described above, under Check the printhead path on page 133 Automatic paper-cutter does not function The automatic paper-cutter is disabled when the take-up reel is in use, and when printing on some heavy paper types, which might damage the cutter. The paper has jammed in the take-up reel If the paper is severely damaged on the take-up reel spindle core, do not use the printer's cutter to cut and remove the paper. Instead, cut the paper manually as close as possible to the printer window, and then remove the roll. See Unload a roll from the printer on page 29. The take-up reel does not wind Predictably, if the take-up reel is not winding as anticipated, the printed output is likely to end up on the floor. If the printer recognizes a problem with the take-up reel, it will interrupt the print job until the issue is corrected. If the printer does not recognize a problem, the job will continue to print. The following table highlights possible issues and solutions. Take-up reel LED status Blinking quickly Issue Print job interrupted? Take-up reel is not Yes winding Blinking slowly Solid red Take-up reel is not No winding Take-up reel is not No winding Solid green Take-up reel is No winding in the wrong direction Possible cause Possible solution The sensor beam was blocked for more than 3 seconds. Make sure that the take-up reel sensors are not blocked by a strip of paper, the collection bin, or any objects. See the illustration below. Make sure that the collection bin is placed behind the foot brace. Also ensure that the take-up reel power switch is on. The sensor cables are loose or unplugged. Ensure that the sensor cables are correctly secured. There is too much resistance on the take-up reel motor. Ensure that the paper is not winding too tightly. A loop shaper should be inserted as described in The take-up reel on page 29. The windingdirection switch is in the wrong position. After 3 seconds, the printer recognizes the problem and interrupts the print job. Move the take-up reel winding-direction switch to the correct position.
