Taping Paper to the Take-Up Shaft
1. Stand in front of the machine.
2. Attach a short piece of masking tape to the center of the dust cover on top
of the machine.
3. Grasp the front edge of the paper. Push the pinchwheel lever to raise the
pinchwheels.
4. Hold the front edge of the paper with both hands and pull 20” (51 cm) of
paper over the platen and shiny top bar and under the take-up shaft (see
Figure 10 for the proper paper path).
Figure 11. Taping the paper to the take-up shaft.
Note: If the paper is not evenly aligned, the first few frames may not
line up properly. Misalignment is automatically corrected after plot-
ting two or three frames. If this problem causes difficulties the op-
tional method described below can improve frame alignment.
5. Align the paper by gently moving it left and right until the tension feels
even. Attach the paper to the take-up shaft with the tape stuck to the
dustcover.
6. Tape the right and left ends (about 2” or 5 cm in from the edge) to the
take-up shaft.
