Take-up reel horizontal alignment
The height of the take-up reel may require adjustment as it must be horizontally aligned to the media output
from the printer. If you notice that the media is not winding on to the take-up reel correctly, and there is
skew, check that the media is loaded in the printer correctly and that the take-up reel is aligned. To verify
alignment of the take-up reel height you need to print the take-up reel test print.
The printer will print a line across the width of the media. Use this line to check the alignment of the right
side of the take-up reel with the left side. Use the take-up reel tension bar as the horizontal reference for
alignment.
Print the take-up reel pattern on roll media to ensure that there is sufficient length to feed the media to the
tension bar on the take-up reel.
