When feeding paper backward
Note:
❏When feeding roll paper larger than the B0 size backward, make sure 
that your printer has at least 30 cm (12 inches) of space to its rear. 
This prevents the printed paper edges from folding.
❏When you feed paper backward, remove the flange from the drive 
unit and fully slide the movable unit to the left side of the printer; 
otherwise, the printed paper may conflict with the Auto Take-up 
Reel Unit and paper feed error may occur.
1. Take off the center shaft from the upper basket hooks to pass 
under the paper guides.
