TENSION Commands
The tension commands are used to adjust the liner tension before and/or after printing a label by running
the rewind motor for a pre-specified length. This adjustment improves peeler performance of printers
equipped with a motorized rewind mechanism. The TENSION commands are ignored by printers not
equipped with a motorized rewind.
Format:
{command} {length}
where:
{command}: Choose one of the following:
PRE-TENSION: Perform tension adjustment prior to printing the label.
POST-TENSION: Perform tension adjustment after printing the label.
{length}: The unit length the rewind motor should to tighten the liner tension. The re-wind motor will
slip once tension is adjusted (it will not pull the stock out of adjustment for the next print cycle).
TENSION Command Example
In this example, the printer is instructed to run the rewind motor for 30 dot-lines, removing any slack in
the liner to adjust the liner tension prior to printing the label.
