Installing the counter weight for adjusting the tension-bar weight
Install the proper number of the counter weight depending on the media type.
Depending on the attaching position of the counter weight, you can adjust the tension bar weight. (If you
attach it on the A part in the next pages figure, it may be heavier, and on the B part, it may be lighter.)
You can attach the counter weight up to 5 each for right and left.
Way to attach weight
Media condition Solution
Ruck is generated in the media feeding direction.
The tension applied on the media is too strong.
Attach counter weights to the B part on the take-up
device and feeding device, in equal amounts.
The media skews at printing.
The media sags and the machine cannot take it up
beautifully.
The tension applied on the media is too weak.
Attach counter weights to the A part on the take-up
device and feeding device, in equal amounts.
The media floats on the platen.
• The counter weight is very heavy. Handle it with care.
If your finger or foot is stuck in the weight, you may be injured.
• Not to lose the unused counter weight, put it in the storage box.
Attach the weight on the rear side of the machine when you want to make
the take-up tension bar lighter. In addition, when you want to make the
feeding tension bar lighter, attach the weight on the rear side of the
machine.
After attaching the counter weight, clip it to prevent falling.
Insert the clip into the hole on the stick to attach the counter
weight.
