Setting the media on the printer
How to operate the take-up device
The take-up device is equipped with a switch that selects the direction in which the media is to be wound.
Setting the torque limiter
The take-up device is provided with a torque limiter.
The take-up torque can be adjusted with the torque limiter.(The printer is shipped with the torque limiter
set to 50% of the maximum torque.)
If the tension is too strong to use a thin sheet of media, lower the take-up torque with the torque limiter.
Lever in top position (REVERSE) The take-up device winds the media with the printed side facing in.
Lever in middle position (OFF) The take-up device does not wind the media.
Lever in bottom position (FORWARD) The take-up device winds the media with the printed side facing out.
 If the take-up torque is too low, the take-up device cannot wind the media prop-
erly.
If the take-up torque is too high, the sheet of media may slacken so that the
image quality can be affected.
