Quick Reference Guide
Adjusting paper tension changes the tension between the main
friction roller and the nip roller assembly. This adjustment affects
the rear and manual paper paths, but not the front path.
Low paper tension will cause inconsistent line feeds. High paper
tension will eventually cause the sprocket feed holes to tear out of
the paper. Paper tension and print head gap settings may
interact. Try different settings to find the combination that works
best.
