OFF
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.
- Use Auto is in most situations. If Media Size Check is not On when Auto is
set, the appropriate tension is not applied because the media width
0 to 40
cannot be detected.
If Media Size Check is Off, set Feeding Tension to Manual and then set
the recommended value for the media width.
If Feeding Tension is set to Auto and creases appear during printing or
black bands (dark stripes) appear in the print results, set Feeding Tension
to Manual. When Manual is set, we recommend setting Feeding Tension
to a recommended value that complies with the width of the loaded
media. See the following for more information.
