Adjusting the Unwind
Before loading fabric for the first time and anytime the fabric width changes - the
unwind position must be adjusted - as the 545 is a center justified machine.
• Loosen the unwind back plate locking thumbscrew A.
• Rotate the back plate B clockwise to increase or counter clockwise to
decrease the web width until the desired width is indicated on scale C.
• Retighten the locking thumbscrew.
Loading Fabric for the First Time
• Once the unwind position has been adjusted for the job width load a roll of
fabric on the unwind core support so that the fabric pulls off the top clockwise.
• While holding the unwind from spinning - tighten the core by turning the center
knob clockwise. Confirm that the core is against the back stop.
• Pull the tab on leader to release the end of fabric and cut off all fabric that has
any tape or adhesive remaining. Pull off about 2 feet (.5m) of fabric to thread
through the printer.
NOTE: The pull-tab / adhesive will be used on the subsequent rolls loaded at a
Stock Out Error to accelerate the reloading process.
