Adjust Paper Tension in Rear Paper Path

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com
The printer is shipped with the paper tension set to the minimum setting.
This works for most continuous forms. The paper tension may need to be
adjusted for:
•
Multipart forms
•
Heavy paper or card stock
•
The manual paper path
Adjusting paper tension changes the tension between the main friction
roller and the nip or exit 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.
