Take-up reel substrate jam If the substrate is severely damaged on the take-up reel spindle, do not use the printer's cutter to cut and remove the substrate. Instead, cut the substrate manually as close as possible to the printer window, then remove the roll. If the problem remains after removing the substrate jam, unload the take-up reel from the front panel and load it again.

If the printer recognizes a problem with the take-up reel, it interrupts the print job until the issue is corrected. If the printer does not recognize a problem, the job continues to print.
