3. Insert the tube into the printer.
The printer will not print properly on a tube that is
bumpy, dirty, or of uneven thickness.
When using a tube reel, minimise the tension in the
tube so that printing performance is optimized. High
tension will cause tube stretch and even slippage,
causing poor print quality.
During printing, keep the media outlet area clear of
obstruction and accumulated prints. A blocked media
outlet will cause improper cutting.
An example of how tension can be minimised:
