4.Guide Roller Height Adjustment
Adjustment Procedure
1) Confirm if the tape runs along the tape guide line of the
Lower Drum.
2) If the tape runs the bottom of the guide line, turn the
Guide Roller Height Adjustment Screw to clockwise
direction.
3) If it runs the top, turn to counterclockwise direction.
4) Adjust the height of the Guide Roller to be guided to the
guide line of the Lower Drum from the starting and end-
ing point of the Drum.
Purpose: To regulate the height of the tape so that the bottom of the tape runs along the
tape guide line on the Lower Drum.
