The set values for the winding torque and the resulting pulling force at the test collar are:
Slipping clutch on Direction of rotation Winding torque M Pulling force F
Ribbon take up hub against the winding direction 7,5 - 10,5 Ncm 2,5 - 3,5 N
Ribbon supply hub any 3,6 - 4,5 Ncm 1,2 - 1,5 N

3. Remove the transfer ribbon from the printer.
4. Attach the test collar (3) to the winder (4).
5. Turn the knurled nut (2) counterclockwise to clamp the test collar.
6. Wind the cord attached to the test collar around the test collar several times.
7. Secure spring scale [10 N] (1) at the end of the cord.
8. Move the spring scale upward vertically until the winder begins turning.
9. If the drive belt at the rewinder is also moving, hold it in place during the measurement. Otherwise, the
measurement is not accurate.
10. Allow the cord to unwind from the test collar at least one full turn and read the pulling force F on the spring scale
at the same time.
11. If the winding torque differs from the set value, it must be adjusted
