a. If experiencing ribbon wrinkling, moving the pin up may help reduce

wrinkling.

b. Use a 2.5mm Allen wrench to loosen the set screw in the face of the top

guide pin, then slide the pin up.

9.

Check angle of printhead guide:

While this does not happen often and typically

the checks before this fix it, it may be necessary to change the angle on the

printhead guide rail. There is a center screw on the back side of the printhead

that when loosened, adjusts the pitch of the printhead guide. At the top and

bottom of this guide, there is a socket head screw. The one at the top is used as

a stop (notice the larger hole that it is positioned in. Ideally this screw is centered

in this hole, but may need to be brought slightly towards the front.  Picture below.

10.

Test by printing multiple labels

. Ribbon wrinkling should be minimal on the

ribbon/label back feed after each printed label.

Figure 6.

11.

Check the Ribbon Source Rewind

. After the ribbon is properly installed, close

the print head and confirm the ribbon is taut.

a. Turn the source reel clockwise ½ turn and release.

b. Confirm that the internal spring rewinds the source reel and tensions the

ribbon. (If not, see
