Printer pulls media off of the Take Up before starting to print

Issue could be that Prevent Stick is active or that the Take Up System is not turned on in the printer:

Under "Set Up"
Set 7 "Type 1" actives the printer for the Take Up System

Set 10 "Prevent Stick" should be off when using the Take Up System.

Activating Take Up - Type 1 overrides both 'Prev stick' and 'Media Initial' if Top and width is chosen.
