Section 4 Maintenance
Adjust Tension
If the liner is wound too tightly on the spindle, it can cause misregistration of labels,
tearing, or poor print quality due to smudging. Liner rewound too loosely could jam the
printer before completing a roll, or make it impossible to separate the labels from the liner
in Peel Mode.
1. Refer to Figure 4-64. Use a spring scale gauge to set the spindle tension. Use
adhesive tape to attach a 2 in. wide by 30 in. long (50 mm wide by 170 mm long)
strip of polyester film to the spindle in the direction shown.
2. Refer to Table 4-3. Insert the spring scale tip through the reinforced hole in the end
of the strip and pull slowly and evenly (2 in. [50 mm] per second) in the direction
shown. Make this measurement several times to ensure an accurate reading.
3. If required, readjust the tension as described below and recheck the tension setting.
4. To keep the spindle from rotating while turning the adjusting nut, insert the Allen
wrench through the access hole at the rear of the rewind spindle to lock the spindle
in position.
5. Turn the adjusting nut with fingers or pliers clockwise for more tension, or
counterclockwise for less tension.
6. Tighten one of the adjusting nut set screws and retest (step 2).
7. If proper tension is not achieved, loosen the set screw and readjust as needed.
8. When proper tension is obtained, tighten both set screws.
9. Recheck the tension after running a full roll of labels.

Note • Depending on the width of the media and the thickness of the liner, it
may be necessary to deviate slightly from the recommended tension setting
shown above.
