Parameter Explanation
0 to 10 Suction is required to maintain the correct distance between the media
and the print head; the amount needed varies with the type of media.
Excessive suction can increase the gap between the print head and thin
or flexible media, potentially reducing print quality or preventing the
media feeding normally. In such cases, you will need to lower media
suction. The suction power is weakened when the parameter is lowered.
Data Width Choose the range in which the print head moves during printing.
Data Width restricts print head movement to the printed area.
Printer Full Width
Restricting the extent of print head movement increases print speed.
If Printer Full Width is selected, the print head will move the full width
of the largest media supported by the printer. Select this option for more
even prints with less variation.
Off Choose the number of times each line is printed.
2 to 8
Printable Side Out Choose Printable Side Out or Printable Side In according to how the
media is rolled.
Printable Side In
Periodically Choose Periodically or Every page to have the printer automatically
monitor and adjust media tension during printing for optimal results.
Every page
Periodically is recommended in most circumstances.
Do not print at the end of a roll
Select Every page for more precise tensioning, but note that print times
will increase.
- Auto is recommended in most situations. If Media Size Check is not On
when Auto is set, the appropriate tension is not applied because the
0 to 40
media width 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 prints, set Feeding Tension to
Manual. When Manual is set, we recommend setting Feeding Tension to
a value that complies with the width of the loaded media. See "Feeding
Tension" on page 70 for more information.
If other values are used, banding (horizontal banding, lines, or strips of
uneven color) or wrinkles may appear in the prints.
