Note
Apply the roll feed unit to backfeed media only for a short
distance.
For a long distance, carefully apply it so that the media slack
would not reach the fl oor.
Besides note that the take-up reel unit does not perform the
backfeed operation. Do not backfeed media with the take-up reel
unit’s operation.

How to use the pressure control knob
How to use the pressure control knob
The pressure control knob is used to adjust the media
pressing force of the media feeding grid roller according to
the media to be used.
Set the pressure control knob properly according to the
media. The pressure force can be adjusted to "low," "normal"
or "high." The pressure control knob has four positions: "high,"
"normal," "low," and "open" used when installing media. It can
be turned both clockwise and counterclockwise.
The pressure control knob is provided on the supply side
and takeup side. The pressure force can be adjusted on the
supply side or takeup side because operation of the two
pressure control knobs is interlocked.

Basically set the pressure force to “normal,” at this setting
most of the media provide a good-accuracy print. Set
the pressure force to “low,” when printing on the fl exible
media such as fabric banner.
