The footswitch allows you to operate the take-up reel unit by foot. This improves work
eciency.
How to use the footswitch
(Footswitch connected to the take-up reel unit)
− Use the take-up direction switch on the take-up reel unit of the printer to set inner take-
up or outer take-up.
− The black switch of the footswitch has the same function as the take-up reel switch
(black) of the take-up reel unit. Press the black footswitch to take up media to the take-
up scroller.
− The white switch of the footswitch has the same function as the media feed switch
(white) of the take-up reel unit. Press the white footswitch to feed media from the take-
up scroller.
(Remark)
− Attaching footswitches do not increase power consumption.
Usage notes
− Do not use footswitches in a humid place or a place exposed to water to prevent a
failure.
− Do not connect or disconnect the footswitch with wet hand to prevent a failure.
− When ink adheres to the footswitch, remove it immediately. If the footswitch is left with
ink for a while, the switch surface may be damaged.
− Hold the connector of the footswitch cable when connecting or disconnecting the
footswitch. Pulling the cord of the cable may result in disconnection or poor contact of
the connector.
− Be sure to connect the ground lines. Otherwise, a malfunction or failure due to noise
may be caused.
− Do not press the footswitch strongly. This may cause a failure of the switch part.
− Do not put anything on the footswitch cable. Doing so may result in disconnection or
other failure.
