Using Media Take-up System
Features of the Take-up System
Using the take-up unit lets you perform printing while the media is taken up automatically. This makes pos-
sible unattended operation at night and ecient output of lengthy media.
What to Select at the Time of Media Setup
When the take-up system is used, select "TU" or "TU2" in [SETUP SHEET]. "TU" and "TU2" have the following
features.
TU
This performs printing operation while automatically taking up the output media. Se-
lect this when only printing operation is performed, not accompanied by taking-back
operation.
TU2
Select this when printing operation is accompanied by taking-back operation, such as
when only cutting operation or printing & cutting operation is performed. The media is
not taken up when output is performed before taking-back operation. Note that output-
ting for a long time at once may cause the media to touch the work oor and get dirty.
P. 142, "About Length Output At One Time When "TU2" is selected"
Operating Conditions for the Take-up System
