6.5 Ribbon Tension Adjustment
The ribbon tension can be adjusted by turning the ribbon shaft knob clockwise or counterclockwise. There are four possible
settings, which are marked on the ribbon supply hub.
• 1 – Tension is the highest
• 4 – Tension is the lowest
If the tension is so low that the ribbon does not move forward, reduce the tension of the ribbon supply hub. To set the tension,
press in the knob and turn it clockwise or counterclockwise as required.
Increasing the tension of the ribbon rewind hub will remove any wrinkling of the ribbon during printing, which results from the
use of different ribbon materials. (For details about the wrinkling/creasing of ribbons, see
If using a very narrow ribbon, the printer may not move the label stock forward (particularly with a ribbon that is less than
2 inches wide). In that case, reduce the tension by turning the knob of the ribbon supply hub counterclockwise.
