Tension Measurement
Periodically
Choose Periodically or Every page to have the printer automatically
monitor and adjust media tension during printing for optimal results, Off
to disable automatic tension adjustment. Periodically is recommended
in most circumstances. The printer may however be unable to adjust
tension appropriately for some media, resulting in excessive slack or other
maladjustments that cause printing problems, in which case you should
select Off. Note, however, that Off may result in unusually large margin
between pages. In addition, printing may not stop and the inside of the
printer may become stained. Observe the following precautions:
❏ Do not print at the end of a roll
❏ Do not select Off for Media End Check.
Select Every page for more precise tensioning, but note that print times
will increase.
