Yet another key feature of the Epson Stylus Pro 9450's large/unattended print job capabilities is a builtin automatic takeup reel. Using specially designed optical sensors, the takeup reel unit automatically detects when printed roll media is about to reach the floor. When this occurs, the reel takes hold of the media, rolling it around the spindle to avoid folds and creases that can otherwise happen when printing banner or multiple uncut images.
The Automatic Takeup reel is also of particular benefit during postproduction laminating processes, making it easy to feed long prints into the laminating machine easily and accurately.
