How to use the take-up reel unit

The take-up reel unit is an optional unit. The IP-5620 and IP-5520 have both their
dedicated unit.

Install the media on the take-up reel unit

1

Prepare a paper tube and waste paper (about 1 m) of the same width as that

of the media to be used. Paste the waste paper to the paper tube.

Note

- If the media is not straight against the paper tube, it will cause skew.
- The width of paper tube for winding in the take-up reel unit should be the

same as that of the roll media for printing. If a wider one is used, take-up
shift may occur.

- If a blower unit is used, move it to a place where it will not disturb the operation.

2

Move the tension roller in the top position.
