. This enables
the takeup roll and disables the cutter.

Install an empty core onto the takeup 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.
Since media cores can be shorter than the width of the media,
position the media guide 1/8” from the end of the core and lock it into
place.

Press
Feed Media Menu/Forward
to advance enough media to
allow its leading edge to come to the center of the takeup roll.
Using at least three pieces of tape, attach the leading edge of the
media to the takeup roll at the left, right, and center of the core.
As printing progresses, the media is looped down in front of the
takeup core until it is detected by the sensor on the printer leg. The
takeup roll is then activated to roll the media.
Be sure not to block the sensor!
Note:
If you are running narrow media and, depending on ambient
temperature and humidity, you may want to set an auto-cut delay
and/or turn on the dryer as described in the Reference Guide on the
system CD-ROM, if you are running a long plot. Because of the print
speed and the narrow media, the ink may otherwise not have
sufficient time to dry before the media is rolled onto the takeup core.
