IPF-8300 Belt Tension?

[methogod]

Is there an adjustment for the belt tension?
Seems loose to me...

These are the only notes I see in the SM under the belt/carriage area.

When either carriage unit or multi sensor has been replaced, be sure to replace the multi sensor reference plate(QL2-8099: MOUNT, SENSOR ADJUSTING) as
well.
d) Action to take after replacing the carriage unit and the multi sensor
Because the distance between the multi sensor (in the carriage unit) and the nozzles (in each printhead) is varied from one unit to another, the printer has its optical
axis corrected and paper gap adjustment sensor gain and sensor calibration adjusted prior to shipment. When the carriage unit or multi sensor has been replaced,
they should require adjustment.
Execute service mode under the following conditions to launch automatic adjustment:
1) Carry out the following service mode without media loading.
- Service mode : SERVICE MODE > ADJUST > GAP CALIB.
2) Load the following media.
Media type : Photo glossy paper
Media size : Media having a width equal too larger than that of A2-size paper
3) Carry out the following service mode.
- Service mode : SERVICE MODE > ADJUST > PRINT PATTERN > OPTICAL AXIS
e) Action following the replacement of the carriage unit, carriage motor, carriage belt or linear encoder sensor
After the carriage unit or carriage motor or carriage belt or linear encoder sensor have been removed or replaced, execute the following service mode.
- Service mode: SERVICE MODE > ADJUST > CR MOTOR COG

Good luck.

There is no adjustment for the belt tension as this is is done by a spring.

When you mount the belt - you apply some pressure to insert the spring into place and it is the spring which keeps the belt in tension.
