4.3.13 Print Quality (VCP Arbor Tension Adjust Tab)
If there are problems with the thermal transfer ink wrinkling, you can adjust the
tensions of the arbors to remove the wrinkles. Click on the “Arbor Tension
Adjust” tab and slide the Unwind and Rewind arbor tensions in order to remove
the wrinkles. Too little tension will make more wrinkles. Too much tension will
break the ink ribbons.
Tracking issues through the printer can be helped by adjusting the Stock Arbor
tension on the right.
