Abstract
A device () includes a media roll () to output a print medium (M) in a forward direction () and a wiper roll () to contact the surface of the print medium (M) at a rotation speed to cause friction on the print medium (M). The device () may determine a radius (r) of the media roll () outputting the print medium (M) and, based on this radius (r), adapt parameters such as the rotation speed of the wiper roll and a back tension (T) exerted by the media roll () on the print medium (M) so as to control the friction caused by the wiper roll () on the print medium (M).
