The tension bar When in use, the take-up reel requires a dangling loop of substrate weighed down by a tension bar. The tension bar can be moved with the take-up reel buttons or by using the Move paper or Rewind paper options in the front panel. Load a roll onto the take-up reel NOTE: Take-up reels with 51 mm (2 in) or 76 mm (3 in) diameter can be used. 1. On the printer's front panel, press , then Take-up reel. Instructions are displayed on the screen; slide your finger laterally across the front panel to follow the instructions to the end. 2. If you decide to load the take-up reel during printing, familiarize yourself with the procedural steps before pressing the Enable button. Loading the take-up reel during printing requires you to complete the procedure while the printer is feeding and printing substrate. Loading the take-up reel during printing saves approximately 1.5 m (4.9 ft) of substrate. TIP: You are recommended to keep the take-up reel winding-direction switch in the off position (see Unload the take-up reel on page 74) to avoid unwanted movements when loading the take-up reel while printing. Once you have the leading edge of the substrate attached to the core, and the substrate is straight, switch the winding-direction switch to position 1 or 2, as you prefer. Setting 1 winds the substrate so that the printed image faces in, setting 2 winds the substrate so that the printed image faces out. The following steps assume that you have decided to load immediately. If you decide to load later, during printing, you must complete the same operations without guidance from the front panel. 3. For easier access to the take-up reel, lift the loading table into its upright position. 68 Chapter 3 Handle the substrate and troubleshoot substrate issues ENWW
