Load a roll (roll-to-free-fall configuration)
The substrate roll is mounted on the input spindle; the printed substrate will be deposited on the floor in
front of the printer. The substrate goes from the input spindle (1) over the main roller (3), over the platen,
over the front diverters (5) and then to the tension roller (7), after which it continues to the floor.
You can load substrate with the printed face inwards or outwards on the spindle, in which case the spindle
will turn in the opposite direction. The printer asks you for the winding direction if it cannot detect it
automatically.
Before loading a roll into the printer, you must have a roll loaded onto the input spindle. See Load a roll onto
the spindle on page 33.
TIP: The spindle by itself is quite heavy, and a roll of substrate can be much heavier. You are recommended
to use a forklift or some other equipment to move it into position; otherwise, lift one end into the printer, and
then the other end.
To load the substrate, follow the same procedure as in the roll-to-roll configuration, except that the output
spindle is not needed.
1. Ensure that the tension roller lever is raised.
