Adjusting the Weight 31
To print on the roll media using an appropriate tension, adjust the tension unit weight before loading the media.
• An appropriate tension: When the slack is taken up from the media. However, for the stretchable media, it should not be
stretched too much.
The tension unit has a function to pull the front and rear edges of the media. Be careful with the following points and adjust the
weight.
• The adjustment procedure is the same for both front and rear sides.
• Perform test printing and adjust the weight if the media is wrinkled or the print result is uneven.
Important!
If the weight is too heavy or too light, the media may rub against the print head and become dirty.

Adjusting the tension unit weight (when inserting the pin)
[1]
While pressing the button for the weight changing pin, insert it to the weight
changing hole.
For the tension unit, if you insert the pin in the upper hole, the weight
becomes lighter, and heavier if it is inserted in the lower hole.
Note
• If you do not insert the pin, the weight becomes the lightest.
• When you stick the pin in the top hole, approximately 400g load is applied to the media.
Every time you lower the pin position, approximately 700g load will be added to the media.
