Adjustment of the Transfer Ribbon
Fig. 7 c Adjustment of the transfer ribbon
If creases, lines or black patches appear in the print image resulting in a poor
print quality, this may be caused by wrinkles in the transfer ribbon (1). To
remove the wrinkles, the tension of the ribbon should be made even from the
left to the right by moving the ribbon shield (3) up or down.
1. Loosen the adjustment screws (4).
2. Shift the transfer ribbon shield (3) sideways into the direction of the wrinkle.
Moving it to the left will increase the tension on the left.
Use the scale (2) provided to monitor the adjustments made. If the screw
is in position "1", the tension is highest on the outside, and if it is in position
"5", the tension is highest on the inside.
3. After completing the adjustment, tighten the securing screw (4).
