							•When the Output Stacker is not used
Use position (2).
•
When the Media Take-up Unit is used, or when the Output Stacker is stored for long periods
Lower it to position (3) for storage.  (See "Storing the Output Stacker .")→P.819
When  using  the  Output  Stacker  again  after  storage,  reattach  the  Basket  Rod  on  the  front  of  the  Output  Stacker  to  the tips of the left and right basket arms and pull it out completely.
•
When printing on large, stiff sheets
Use position (3).
Set  it  to  position  (4)  when  printing  banners  or  when  printing  on  delicate  paper.    (See  "Using  the  output  stacker  for
ejection in front .")
→P.815
Important•When  storing  printed  documents  on  the  Output  Stacker,  always  use  it  in  position  (1).  If  you  do  not,  printed
documents may not be dropped into the Output Stacker, and the printed surface may become soiled.
• The Output Stacker can hold one sheet. When printing multiple pages, remove each sheet after it is printed.
• Before using the Output Stacker, remove the Rewind Spool. If you do not, it may prevent printed documents
from being held correctly, and they may be scratched.
• The  Output  Stacker  can  hold  printed  documents  from  rolls  that  are  62  inches  (1,575  mm)  long.  When  print-
ing longer documents, adjust the stacker for ejection in front, or use the optional Media Take-up Unit.
The Output Stacker locks into position if you lift it to position (1) or (2). To lower the Output Stacker, lift the front Basket
Rod lightly to release the lock, and then lower the stacker.

							Using the output stacker for ejection in front
You can also set the stacker to the following position when printing banners or when printing on delicate paper.
Note• When using the stacker for ejection in front, always select  Cutting Mode > Eject . Selecting  Automatic may
damage printed documents.   (See "Specifying the Cutting Method for Rolls .")
→P.794
• During ejection in the front of the printer, be especially careful when using delicate paper or paper that curls
easily.
• Depending  on  the  type  of  paper,  the  edge  may  curl  or  bend  during  ejection.  In  this  case,  straighten  out  the
paper. If the paper is curled or bent, it may damage printed documents.
• Some types of paper may get caught between the Ejection Guide and Output Stacker during ejection. In this
case, free the paper from where it is caught. If the paper is caught, it may damage printed documents.
1. Lift the Basket Rod gently to release the lock, lower the stacker toward the front, and push it back.

Arrange the Basket Cloth and Basket Rod so they do not interfere with the Media Take-up Sensor.
• Do not put anything near the Media Take-up Sensor that might interfere with it. This may impair operation.
• Rolls are not cut automatically when the Media Take-up Unit is used, regardless of the  Cutting Mode setting
in  the  printer  menu  or  the  Automatic  Cutting  setting  in  the  printer  driver.  However,  you  can  cut  paper  by
pressing the  Cut button.
• Color  tones  after  printing  may  change  during  the  ink  drying  period  for  some  types  of  paper.  Allow  ample
drying time before the final check of colors, and do not remove printed documents from the Media Take-up
Unit too soon.
• In humid environments, documents printed using plenty of ink on relatively insubstantial media such as light-
weight  Coated  Paper  may  not  be  retracted  evenly  by  the  unit.  In  this  case,  take  steps  to  control  humidity  in
the  operating  environment,  or  adjust  the  Roll  DryingTime  setting  so  that  printed  documents  are  retracted
after the ink has fully dried.
• In humid environments, documents printed on Fabric Banner or Synthetic Paper may not be retracted evenly
by the unit. In this case, take steps to control humidity in the operating environment, or adjust the  Roll Dry-
ingTime  setting so that printed documents are retracted after the ink has fully dried.
