Winding options

Introduction
For the Colorado 1630 there are several winding options depending on the type of media you are
using.
NOTE
It is very important to select the correct winding option. If you choose the wrong option this can
lead to print quality and winding issues.
Overview
In a media profile a media category is used that corresponds with the loaded media type. Each
media category uses default media settings. One of the media settings is [Winding tension] that
controls the winding tension that best fits the media type.
