The Roll Media Option consists of a supply media drive, media tension bar, capstan roller, vacuum platen, media gimbal, and a take-up media drive. This system accurately advances the roll of media during printing. The roll media is positioned with a high resolution media encoder. This ensures accurate and high quality printing.
