Precautions (Take-up)
The TAKE-UP unit is an optional product for FC 9000-140/160.
Notes on the basket
Be sure to use the supplied basket. If not used, it will affect the take-up operation.
Note on the media (paper)
Please observe the following precautions.
Cut media cannot be used.
The maximum diameter of roll media that can be loaded is 180 mm and the maximum weight is 20 kg.
Please make sure to store the paper at the same environment (temperature/humidity) as this machine.
Please always line up the edge of the paper.
Misalignment may cause media skewing and mis-cuts.
Media skewing can cause plotting and cut offs.
Set up the tip of the roll media and the paper core properly by referring to "Preparing for cutting".
By setting the end of the roll media and the paper core properly, the taking-up operation can be performed
properly.
About the paper core:
This machine uses rolls with an internal diameter of 3 inches, or 76.2 mm.
Mis-cuts or plotting deviations and take-up failure may occur if the paper core is warped or has a larger
internal diameter. Do not use deformed paper core or paper core with a large inner diameter.
About media flange for take-up
Using the media flange for take-up, the roll media should be loaded .
Secure the roll media so that there is no gap between the media flange and the paper core.
Always use the "AUTO PRE FEED (PrFEED)" function.
The roll media can start to stretch or contract immediately upon removal from the machine's roll.
The expansion/contraction amount and saturation time of the media changes depending on the temperature
and humidity.
Mis-cuts or plotting deviations and taking-up failure may occur due to the influence of expansion and
contraction.
In order to reduce this effect, be sure to try the "AUTO PRE FEED (PrFEED)" function on media to be used.
For details on how to change these settings, see "Perform Automatic Pre Feed When Media is Set (Initial
Feed)".
