HP 72SR manual Feed method Roll or Cut Sheet, Media Wizard

For each media type, the Media Wizard stores the following settings:

◆Media name — for user-defined media, use the alpha- betic keyboard displayed on the control panel to enter the media name. (Standard media names cannot be changed.)

◆Media thickness — for user-defined media, use the numeric keyboard displayed on the control panel to enter the media thickness (caliper). (Standard media thickness cannot be changed.) Thickness is used for ref- erence only, so this can be left blank for custom media.

◆Feed method — Roll or Cut Sheet.

◆Stiff media handling (roll fed) — when enabled, deten- sions then retensions the takeup system before every print job, for more accurate feeding of adhesive-backed and other stiffer roll-fed media types.

◆Pinch rollers (cut sheet) — adjustable pinch roller set- ting, from 1 (highest force) to 12 (lowest force). Select the lowest pressure that results in good media advance without leaving pinch roller marks on the media.

◆Media out sensor (cut sheet) — detects when rigid cut sheet media is out. Normally enabled; disable only if the sensor is malfunctioning.

◆Measure width — choose whether the media width should be measured automatically by the printer, or manually by the user.

◆Takeup tension (roll fed) — select a tension setting from 1 (low) to 10 (high), or select 0 for idle (no tension).

Takeup tension is used to ensure that the media web feeds straight from supply and takeup, and lies flat on the platen. Use the lowest tension settings that allow cor- rect media feed.

When the takeup tension is set to idle, printed output is not automatically wound onto the takeup spool. In this mode, however, a key appears on the control panel that enables you to wind the takeup spool manually. If the end of the media is taped to the takeup core, you can use this key to control how tightly the media is wound onto the core.

◆Supply tension (roll fed) — select a tension setting from 1 (low) to 5 (high), or select 0 for idle tension.
