Parameter
Explanation
Media Tension
0 to 40
Increase tension if creases appear in the media during printing. The higher
the value, the greater the tension.
Media Suction
0 to 10
When media is waved on the platen, increase the
Media Suction
. The
higher the value, the greater the suction.
If graininess or out-of-focus characteristics are detected in printing results
obtained using thin or soft media or if the media is not fed normally,
reduce the
Media Suction
.
Head Movement
Data Width
Choose the range in which the print head moves during printing.
Data Width
restricts print head movement to the printed area. 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 print results with less variation.

ment
Periodically
Select
Periodically
or
Every Page
to automatically measure the media
tension and adjust to the optimal media feeding operation, or
Off
to
disable automatic tension adjustment.
Periodically
is recommended in most circumstances.
Selecting
Every Page
enhances the accuracy of the
Tension
Measurement
for the optimal adjustment, but the printing time is longer
than when
Periodically
is selected.
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, after media has been ended, 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.
