The bobbin package can be dismantled by removing the #T20
Torx screw at the end of the shaft. Inside the outermost bobbin,
there is a spring that presses the bobbin package towards a felt
pad in order to break the rotation. Else, the momentum of a large
and heavy media roll might cause excessive media to be unwound
when the printing is stopped. The brake torque should be 50 ±20
Nmm

.
The printer is prepared for the fi tting of a media-low sensor in
having a code disc fi tted as standard at the innermost part of the
bobbin package. Be careful to fi t the studs of the innermost bobbin
into the holes in the code disk when the package is assembled.
