plate (Fig. 5-4, Item 3).

Never remove the screws on fine adjustment plate.
If the print is skipping or absent on the right side of the film (side closer to the handle), slightly LOWER
the fine adjustment plate.
If the print is skipping or absent on the left side of the film (side farther from the handle), slightly
RAISE the fine adjustment plate.
Retighten the screws and test print.
Repeat the above steps until the print quality is satisfactory across the entire with of film.
5.8 Lever Arms Adjustment
Lever arms (Fig. 5-5) and linkage require adjustment when cylinders, platen roller, rear nip roller or

Head Down Lever Arm Adjustment
Disconnect air and turn power OFF. Remove top cover of the upper print head assembly (Fig. 5-6, Item

Note: Two persons may be required to perform the following steps.
Push the CONNECTING LINK forward (Fig. 5-5, Item 6) to the maximum forward position and hold
with some force exerted in the forward direction shown.
While holding connecting link forward, turn KNOB (Fig. 5-6, Item 2) clockwise lowering print head
onto the platen roller so that the CAM (Fig. 5-6, Item 6) deflects the SPRING PLATE (Fig. 5-6, Item 7)

While holding the CONNECTING LINK forward and the PRINT HEAD down with the force described
