Onto the Take Up Reel
When loading media onto the Take Up Reel:
Check the leading edge as it unwinds from the
spool. If it is not evenly cut or if it is skewed, trim the
media as shown in the animation.
Check the media is straight when it is attached to the
take up reel, otherwise the media will skew as it is
wound onto the core.
The core tube on the take-up reel must be the same
width as the media you are using.
Make sure the take-up core is pushed firmly into
both media guides.
If you need to feed more media from the printer and
the “Move Media” screen is no longer displayed, go
to the media menu and press Enter. Then select
“Move Media”.
If you are using a three-inch cardboard core, make
sure the core adaptors supplied with the printer,
have been installed. See below.
The Take Up Reel as an Accessory
For the HP Designjet 60inch/1.57m printer the Take UP
Reel is supplied as standard. For the HP Designjet

When loading media there is information available
from:
The Pocket Guide installed at the back of the printer.
The labels located on the printer and on the
spindles.
The front panel which will guide you through all the
procedures step-by-step.
