INITIAL TEST
After the initial settings have been programmed, perform an initial manual test. Allow the
machine to warm to the proper operating temperature. Allow an additional 5 minutes to
ensure that the typewheels have heated to the proper temperature.
1. Ensure that the typewheel lock bar is engaged and that the typewheels
cannot rotate.
2. Ensure that the foil is properly threaded.
3. Insert a wire in the wire fixture.
4. Momentarily press the TEST switch on the side of the control box. The
machine imprints the wire.
5. Inspect the wire to determine the quality of the imprint. If the quality
needs improvement, refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual
(page 21) to determine the necessary adjustments. Follow the
procedures specified to adjust the machine.
6. Once the imprint quality is satisfactory, perform a test run before placing
the wire-marking machine into service.
