Press the OK button on the front panel, and then select a winding direction.

The printer advances the paper. Make sure that the paper passes in front of the take-up reel deflector,

as shown.

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 useful to use the core grooves to align the

paper.
