TTR Media Tension
Normally, this adjustment should not be required during the life of a film roll.
However, if you notice film wrinkling or one of the colors smudging, you can
adjust the tension to alleviate these conditions.
If using TTR less than two inches wide, tension may be excessive when the
tension switch is in the High position. If ribbons break, flip the TTR tension
switch to Low. Ribbon tension can also be adjusted on each individual
printstation by turning the knob on the ribbon unwind mandrel.

Print and Cut Offset
Use print offset to modify print registration in fine increments or to move the
entire printed image up to 1200 pixels forward or back with respect to sensor
marks.
By default, when printing on media with sensor marks (gaps, reflective marks,
etc.) the printer will place the label image area between the marks.
