The automated tension bar module system automatically feeds the film through using a self powered motor, and the tension bar responds to an upper inductor and a lower inductor sensor. When the printer moves the film, the tension lever rises and then senses the upper sensor. When the upper sensor is sensed, the motor automatically turns, and when the tension lever senses the lower sensor, the motor stops turning. The feeder continuously and automatically supplies the printing film, and the tension rod keeps a stable tension. This is an optional way the printing film can automatically maintain stable tension. Sensor and motor wiring can be wired into the printer internals, thereby needing no additional power. Comes with installation instructions (approx 10-15 mins for self-installation).
