Installing the counter weight for
adjusting the tension-bar weight (1)
• If the large / small two types of
counter weight (large (100g x
4 sheets) / small (50g x 20
sheets)) are attached, install a
counter weight in the following
manner.
• Check the tension of the
media and attach an
appropriate number of
weights.
Install the proper number of the counter weight depending
on the media type.
You can attach the counter weight up to 12 (Large : 2,
Small : 10) each for right and left.

Chapter 2 Basic Operation
Number of counter weights you can attach
• The number of counter weights you can attach
differs depending on the outer diameter after
taking up the media.
• Instead of the torque limiter attached to the printer
take-up device, you can attach the motor direct-
connection unit supplied with the AMF kit.
In this case, the number of counter weights
attached to the tension bar differs.
