Chapter 8—Liner Takeup Unit
8.1 Description
The liner takeup unit is a factory installed option that is used for peel-off
(self-strip) operation. Peel-off means that self-adhesive labels are automati-
cally separated from the liner (backing paper) after printing and the liner
is wound up on a hub inside the printer’s media compartment. Peel-off
operation cannot be combined with Quick-Load guides. The rewind unit
is made up by the following main parts:
• The takeup hub assy (see Chapter 8.2 for details)
• The timing belt (fi tted in all printers)
• The guide shaft
