Media may pulled by excessive force and result in an error.

About the Paper Tube
For the paper tube, use the included item.
The included paper tube is a special part exclusively for use with this machine. Using something other than the included

The paper tube is a part that wears out.
The replacement cycle varies according to usage conditions, but to ensure good media take-up, monitor the state of the
paper tube and replace it when necessary. To purchase a replacement, contact your authorized Roland DG Corp. dealer.
