
The Stock Unwind Arbor holds the supply roll. By rotating the outer knob
clockwise or counterclockwise, you can adjust the Tape Arbor to
accommodate tapes ranging from ½ inch - 2 ¼ inches (12.7 mm - 57.2 mm)
wide. The arbor auto-centers the tape through the printer. Metal fingers
extend to hold the supply roll in place. This allows back tension which keeps
the tape centered through the printer.

The Stock (Web) Guide guides the stock through the printer and is adjusted
by rotating the black knob.

The Upper and Lower Print Stations house the print head assemblies.
They have knobs for adjusting print head pressure and print density to control
the print quality.
