							Use the take-up reel
There are three tasks required to complete loading of media on the take-up reel. The first part of
attaching a roll to the take-up reel is attaching the end of the roll (with tape) to the core tube supplied
with the take-up reel. You can also use an empty cardboard tube. Both types of core must be the same
length as the roll you are using.
●Set the take-up reel for clockwise or anti-clockwise winding.
●Define the winding mode.
●Load media onto the take-up reel.
Set the take-up reel winding direction
Internal (anti-clockwise) winding or external (clockwise) winding can be selected. When the take-up reel
