The tensioner keeps the roll media from becoming too slack. Use the tensioner only when printing on

these media types: Epson Singleweight Matte Paper, Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper (170), Epson

Premium Semigloss Photo Paper (170), and other thin media wider that 17 inches (432 mm). You need

to adjust the width of the tensioner to match the roll paper you are using before inserting it.

Attach the right flange to the right end of the large tension pipe.

If the roll paper you are using is wider than 24 inches (610 mm), attach small tension pipes to the left

end of the large tension pipe as necessary.

Note:

Each small tension pipe adds 10 inches (254 mm) of width to the tensioner. Add up to 4 small

tension pipes to the large tension pipe, as necessary.

Attach the left flange to the left end of the tension pipe.

Note:

Make sure the flange is set wider than the width of the roll media.
