Next, feed the tape up and over the ‘print head cover’ and onto the ‘take up’ mandrels shown in
diagram 4.5a.
Now place the tape onto the ‘take up’ reel and secure it with a label.
By manually spinning the ‘take up’ mandrel clockwise, the tape will wind onto the reel. Spin it a
few times to check that the tape is secured to the core reel.
