Parameter Explanation
Periodically Choose Periodically or Every page to have the printer automatically
monitor and adjust media tension during printing for optimal results, Off
Every page
to disable automatic tension adjustment.
Off 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.
0 to 40 Increase tension if creases appear in media during printing. The higher
the value, the greater the tension.
The manufacturer default set values will change as follows depending on
the Tension Measurement setting.
Periodically/Every Page: Level 28
Off: Level 39
Parameter Explanation

color) persists after head cleaning and head alignment have been
performed.

hand. See "Feed Adjustment" on page 73.
1.5 Choose the platen gap (the distance between the print head and the
media).

The default setting of 1.5 is recommended in most situations. Choose 2.0
2.5 if printout is scratched or smudged. Select 2.5 only if print results are still
smudged when 2.0 is selected. Choosing a larger gap than required may
result in ink stains inside the printer, reduced print quality, or shorter
product life.

grainy or out of focus.
