5. Ribbon Tension Adjustment Knob 

 

 

 

 

The ribbon tension adjustment knob

 

has 3 levels of adjustment. Because the printer’s ribbon alignment is to 

the left side of mechanism, different ribbon width require different tension to print correctly. Therefore, it may 

require to adjust the ribbon tension knob to get your best print quality. The biggest tension is #1.  Adjust the 

tension by turning the knobs to suitable # (1, 2 or3) on both ribbon supply & rewind spindles, suggest the 

tension # to be the same on both spindles. Factory default tension is #1.
