Unloading the Paper from the Printer
The menu provides two options for unloading paper before the end of the roll is
detected:
• Unload Supply and Takeup—Automatically makes a cut between the
exposed paper and the unexposed paper. The printer then winds the exposed
paper and trailer into the takeup cassette and rewinds the unexposed paper
into the supply cassette.
NOTE: Approximately 27 inches of unexposed paper will not be rewound into
the supply cassette.
• Unload Takeup and Rethread—Automatically makes a cut between the
exposed paper and the unexposed paper. The printer then winds the exposed
paper and trailer into the takeup cassette. Paper is then advanced as
appropriate for the loading option selected. See “Selecting a Loading Option”
on page 3-24.
NOTE: You can determine the amount of trailer. See “Setting the Length of the
Paper Trailer” on page 3-27.
To choose one of the above options, see “Unloading Paper” on page 3-23.
Reaching the End of Roll of Paper
When the end of the roll is detected, the remainder of the paper is wound into the
takeup cassette and the message “Out of Paper...” is displayed on the OCP. See
“Removing Exposed Paper from the Takeup Cassette” on page 3-21 and “Loading
Paper Into the Supply Cassette” on page 3-6.
If an error has occurred and/or a door has been opened or closed after the printer
reached the end of the roll, the message “Out of Paper...” may display even
though paper is still partially threaded. To completely wind the paper into the
takeup cassette, either reinitialize the printer or see “Unloading the Paper from the
Printer” above.
