4.4.5 Correction Tape Lift and Ribbon Tape Position Adjustment
Check:
When a character is printed, the character that is transferred must
leave a space of 0.03 to 0.05 inches (0.8 to 1.2 mm) from the top of
the ribbon tape (1) and a space of 0.04 to 0.08 inches (1.0 to 2.0
mm) from the bottom of the ribbon tape (1). In addition, when a
correction is made, the top part of vertical lines lifted off (corrected)
with the correction tape (2) must be within 0.04 to 0.06 inches (1.0
to 1.5 mm) from the top and the bottom part of underlines must be
0.06 to 0.08 inches (1.5 to 2.0 mm) from the bottom.
Adjustment:
1) Print vertical lines and underlines (or any characters with width
or height.)
Move the screw (3-A) holding the ribbon base stopper on the
right side of the carrier box up and down, adjusting the position
so that printed characters are printed within the range specified
for ribbon tape.
If the top of the character is missing and there is no space
at the top of the ribbon:
Move the ribbon base stopper (3-B) up.
If the bottom of the character is missing and there is no
space at the bottom of the ribbon:
Move the ribbon base stopper (3-B) down.
2) Move the screw (4-A) holding the lift slide plate on the ribbon
cassette base back and forth, adjusting the position so that
corrected characters are corrected within the range specified for
correction tape (2).
If the top of the character is missing and there is no space
at the top of the ribbon:
Move the lift slide plate (4-B) towards you.
If the bottom of the character is missing and there is no
space at the bottom of the ribbon:
Move the lift slide plate (4-B) towards the platen.
3) After making the necessary adjustments, print vertical lines and
underlines, and make corrections. Confirm that the tops of the
vertical lines and the bottoms of the underlines are within the
prescribed distance from the edges of the tapes.
Confirmation:
Make sure that printed characters are not missing any parts, and
that when corrections are made, the entire character is removed
completely.
Also, with the ribbon cassette base (4) raised to the highest position,
make sure that the teeth of the correct feed ratchet gear (3-C) are
engaged about halfway with the ribbon cassette base hook (4-C)
and the ratchet hook (3-D).
Possible symptoms:
Missing parts of characters, or corrected characters that do not
disappear or only partly disappear.
