5.7 Adjusting the Brake at the Media Supply Hub
The media supply hub is equipped with a brake system. The torque of this system is depending by the position of
the swing arm (1).
This system of brake and swing arm make it possible:
to speed up the media supply hub soft also when using heavy label stock and high print speed,
to guarantee a nearly constant torque at the media regardless of the diameter of the label stock, this is
necessary for a precise media movement.
A misaligned system can cause several errors as follows:
The swing arm hits the upper limitation, it is forming a loop of media and the media runs sideward, so it can
cause damages of the media.
The swing arm hits the lower limitation, this can cause a faulty media transport mainly when speeding up heavy
label stock.

Normally, it is not necessary to adjust the brake.
In exceptional cases, e.g. for particularly loosely wound labels, the tension spring attachment (3) is to be adjusted.
Loosen the xing screw (4), shift the slotted hole plate (6) accordingly and tighten the screw (4) again.
