To return to the Media Wizard menu, press the ! (Proceed) key.

For each media type, the Media Wizard stores the following settings. The settings stored vary depending on whether the media is roll-fed or cut-sheet.

Name — for user-defined media, use the alphabetic key- board displayed on the control panel to enter the media name. (Standard media names cannot be changed.)

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 reference only, so this can be left blank for custom media.

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 (lowest force) to 8 (highest 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 Media Width — select whether to have the printer measure the media width automatically (works for most media) or manually by the operator (only nec- essary for clear media that cannot be detected with the printer’s image sensor). In the latter case, the control panel prompts the user through the process.

Takeup Tension (roll fed) — select a tension setting from 1 (low) to 5 (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
