							3.Remove the first end of the spindle from the righ
t-hand side of the printer, and then move the
spindle to the right in order to extract the other  end. Do not insert your fingers into the spindle
supports during th e removal process.
The spindle has a hub at each end to keep the roll  in position. Remove the blue hub at the left end
to mount a new roll. The hub slides along the  spindle to hold rolls of different widths.
4. Slide the lever-lock on the blue hub to the unlock
ed position and remove the hub (1) from the left
end of the spindle.
5. Rest the roll of paper that you want to load 
on the loading table. The roll might be long and
heavy, and you might need two people to handle it.

							6.Slide the spindle into the roll. Make sure that no
 space exists between the roll and the fixed hub at
the right end of the spindle.
Make sure that the paper will wind off the roll in  the correct direction. If it does not, remove the
spindle from the roll, turn the roll 180° and rest  it on the loading table. Then slide the spindle into
the roll.
NOTE: A label on the spindle also show s the correct winding direction.
7.Put the blue hub on to the uppe
r end of the spindle, and push it towards the end of the roll as
shown in step 1 in the following image. Then slide the lever-lock to the locked position as shown in

							If you regularly use different paper types, you can change rolls more quickly if you pre-load rolls of
different paper types on different spindles. Extra spindles are available for purchase.
Load a roll into the printer
NOTE: To start this procedure, you need to  have a roll loaded on the spindle. See Load a roll onto
the spindle on page 33.
1.
At the printers front panel, select the  icon, and then select  Paper load > Load roll .
Alternatively, you can start loading paper withou t using the front panel, by feeding paper in or
lifting the pinch lever when there is no paper loaded.
NOTE: If you lift the pinch lever, you will need  to align the paper manually; follow the
instructions on the front panel.
2. If printing paper info is disabled, the fr
ont panel asks you to select the paper type.
3. The front panel asks you to feed paper. When 
the printer detects the paper, paper checks will
begin.
4. If the paper that you are using has a paper-data 
barcode printed on the leading edge of the roll,
and printing paper info is enabled, the printe r automatically reads the information. If printing
paper info is disabled,  the barcode is ignored.
If printing paper info is enabled and no barcode  is detected on the roll that is being loaded, the
front panel asks you to enter th e paper type and the length of th e roll you are loading. Select the
paper category and paper type of  the roll. If it is not clear which paper category or paper type to
select, see 
Supported paper types on page 31 .
Select the length of the roll.
5. If some of the paper checks failed, the front 
panel explains the problem and helps you to load
paper successfully.

							6.If you have a take-up reel (a standard feature 
on the 1.5m printer and an optional accessory on
the 1.1m printer), a message will appear on the fr ont panel asking if you want to load paper onto
the take-up reel. If you select  No (or if you do not have a take-up reel) the front panel displays the
Ready  message and the printer is ready to print. If you select  Yes, a message will appear on the
front panel asking if you wa nt to load the take-up reel now or during printing.
●
If you want to load the  take-up reel now, select  Load take-up reel now , read through the
introductory text in the section 
Use the take-up reel on page 37, and then continue to step
3 of the procedure.
● If you want to load  the take-up reel du ring printing, select  Load it during printing , read
through the introductory text in the section 
Use the take-up reel on page 37 , and then
continue to step 3 of the procedure.
NOTE: Familiarize yourself with the procedural  steps, because loading the take-up reel
while printing requires you to complete th e procedure while the printer is feeding and
printing paper. Loading the take-up reel duri ng printing saves approximately 1 m (3 ft) of
paper.
NOTE: During the initial printer setup, printhead  alignment and color calibration are performed
automatically after the roll is  loaded into the printer.
Unload a roll from the printer
NOTE:If you used the take-up reel (a standard feature  on the 1.5m printer and an optional accessory
on the 1.1m printer) during printi ng, unload the printed roll from th e take-up reel before attempting to
remove the roll from the printer. See 
Unload a roll from the take-up reel on page 43.
1. At the printers front panel, select the  icon, then  Paper unload  > Unload roll .
2. The paper is unloaded from the printer.
3. Release the spindle lock.
4. Remove the roll from the printer, 
pulling out the right end on the ri ght side of the printer first. Do
not insert your fingers in to the spindle supports during the removal process.
Use the take-up reel
CAUTION:Make sure the printer is turned off when inst alling the take-up reel motor on the printer.

							The take-up reel is operated from the front panel.
Follow these guidelines when taping rolls to the take-up reel spindle core:
● Make sure that the paper is straight when it is 
attached to the spindle core. Otherwise it skews as
it winds onto the core.
● The spindle core on the take-up reel must be 
the same width as the paper that you are using.
● Check that neither side of the spindle core ha
s end caps, and make sure the spindle core is
pushed firmly into both spindle guides.
● If you are using a Z6200 1.1m printer, make sure that the bin loop is placed behind the foot
brace so that it does not bl
ock the take-up reel sensors.
NOTE:If you want to load th e take-up reel during printing, fami liarize yourself with the procedural
steps. Loading the take-up reel duri ng printing requires you to complete the procedure while the printer
is feeding and printing paper. Loading the take-up re el during printing saves approximately 1 m (3 ft)
of paper.
Load a roll onto the take-up reel
1. On the printers front panel, select the  icon, and then select  Paper load > Load take-up
reel .
2. If you want to load the take-up reel now, select  Load take-up reel now on the front panel. If
you want to load the take-up reel during printing, select  Load it during printing on the front

							7.Press the 
OK key on the front panel, and then select a winding direction.
The printer advances the paper. Make sure that th e paper passes in front of the loading table, as
shown.
8. Pull the paper taut to the position 
shown in the following figure. Do  not attempt to pull more paper
out of the printer. Use tape to  secure the paper to the spindle  core. You might need to use more
tape than is shown in the following image. The  paper should be secure enough to support the
weight of the loop-shaping core, which you insert in step 12.
NOTE: If you are loading the take-up reel  during printing you do not need  to pull the paper taut.
Tape the paper to the spindle core when an adequate length of paper has fed from the printer
after printing begins.
NOTE: To avoid having the paper skew as it winds  onto the spindle core, make sure the paper
is straight when you attach it. It is sometimes us eful to use the core grooves to align the paper.

							9.Press the 
OK key on the front panel. The printer advances the paper.
NOTE: Make sure that you insert  the loop-shaping core. The ta ke-up reel will not function
correctly without it. The loop-shaping core must  have end caps. Make sure that the end caps
extend over the edges of the paper.
10. Assemble a loop-shaping core by
 matching the shape-coded and color-coded lengths of plastic
tubing. The loop-shaping  core must be the same width as the  paper that you are using. Make sure
that both end caps are firmly fitted on the ends of the loop-shaping core.
NOTE: The front-panel display shows th e required length of the loop-shaping core based on the
width of the roll that you have loaded into the printer.
11. Gently lower the loading table.

NOTE:
Make sure that you insert  the loop-shaping core. The ta ke-up reel will not function
correctly without it. The loop-shaping core must  have end caps. Make sure that the end caps
extend over the edges of the paper.
13. Use the wind-direction switch on the take-up reel  motor to select the winding direction. Setting 1
winds the paper so that the printed image faces in. Setting  2 winds the paper so that the printed
image faces out.
The front panel shows you to the  correct setting based on the wind ing-direction decision you made
in step 7.
14. Press the  OK key on the front panel. The  Take-up reel has been successfully installed
message appears.
15. The following image shows how the printer looks when
 it is operating. As paper is fed from the
printer, it drops down in a loop and  then up into the take-up reel spindle.
NOTE:While the take-up reel is operat ing, make sure that the take-up reel sensors are not blocked.
NOTE:The automatic paper-cutter is disabled  when the take-up reel is in use.
