Item Parameter Explanation
Tension Measurement
Periodically
Select Periodically or Every Page to automatically measure the media
tension and adjust to the optimal media feeding operation, or Off to
disable automatic tension adjustment.
Periodically is recommended in most circumstances.
Selecting Every Page enhances the tension measurement accuracy for
the optimal adjustment, but the printing time is longer than when
Periodically is selected.
The printer may however be unable to adjust tension appropriately for
some media, resulting in excessive slack or other maladjustments that
cause printing problems, in which case you should select Off. Note,
however, that Off may result in unusually large margin between pages. In
addition, after media has been ended, printing may not stop and the
inside of the printer may become stained. Observe the following
precautions:
Do not print at the end of a roll.
Do not set Media End Check to Off in the Printer Setup menu.
Every Page
Off
Media Tension 0 to 40 Increase tension if creases appear in the media during printing. The higher
the value, the greater the tension.

Item Parameter Explanation
Setting Name Assign the media setting bank a name up to 22 half-size characters long.
Using distinctive names makes it easier to select banks for use.
Platen Gap
1.5 Choose the platen gap (the distance between the print head and the
media).
The default setting of 1.5 is recommended in most situations. Choose 2.0 if
printout is scratched or smudged. Select 2.5 only if print results are still
smudged when 2.0 is selected. Choosing a larger gap than required may
result in ink stains inside the printer, reduced print quality, or shorter
product life.

Auto Media Adjust The printer automatically reads settings using the sensor while printing
patterns, and continuously performs Feed Adjustment and Head
Alignment.
