Respooling Media 3-27
Respooling Media The printer can respool media from one cardboard core to
another. You may want to do this if:
◆ The media was not taped to its core by the media vendor,
which makes tensioning impossible.
◆ You want to change the direction that the media unwinds
from the core (printed side out vs. printed side in).
1. Load media on the supply.
2. Load an empty cardboard core on the takeup.
3. Slowly pull media from the supply spool to the takeup.
Do not pull the media faster than the supply motor releases
it. Route the media directly to the takeup. Do not route it
over the platen and heaters.
Ensure that the right and left edges of the media web are
perpendicular to the sides of the printer, that the tension
appears uniform across the media web, and that the media is
not unrolling unevenly (“telescoping”) from the supply
spool.
4. Tape the end of the media to the takeup core.
5. Press the (Menu) key from the Front Page screen on the
