Next, feed the leader along the guide roller at the base of the ‘transfer roller arm’ and onto the
core reel on the ‘take up’ mandrel. Use a label to secure the label leader to the core reel.
By turning the label advance knob clockwise, the label leader will wind onto the ‘take up’
mandrel. Spin it a few time to check that the label leader is secured to the core reel.
The label media reel is now installed and ready for operation.
