PLATEN 

Loosen the eccentric fixing bolts and use the bolts to rotate the 
eccentric behind the adjusting plate until the numbering head 
makes light contact with the paper.   

Note ....... This adjustment can be difficult to do, but please 

persevere - it is important.   

To increase pressure, rotate the operator side eccentric clockwise 
and the clutch side eccentric counter-clockwise.   

Adjusting one side affects the other, so always double check the 
adjustment and tighten the bolts securely.   

On a machine that appears to have unequal pressures, the platen 
may be levelled off by adjusting only the clutch side eccentric. 

Finally, if the platen has been replaced, re-fit the drive pulley and 
twin grip belt. ( See section 4). 

Tip.......... The illustrated parts manuals and operators guides for 

each machine are an invaluable reference when using 
this manual.
