Maintenance and Adjustment
6.6 Ribbon shield settings
1.
The use of different ribbon materials may cause wrinkling of the ribbon, which in
turn affects the print result as illustrated by the examples in (a) and (b). To change
the print quality, you can adjust the ribbon shield screws.
If your print result looks like the example in (a), you need to turn ribbon shield screw A
clockwise. If your print result looks like the example in (b), you need to turn ribbon shield
screw B clockwise.
(a) (b)
2.
To keep track of the change in print quality, you should adjust the screws by half a
turn at a time. Print a test page. If there is no improvement in the print result, turn
the screw by another half turn. Do not turn the adjustment screw more than two
full turns.
【
Note
】
If you adjust the screw by more than two full turns, the paper feed may no longer
function correctly. In that case, unscrew the ribbon shield screws fully and restart the
adjustment process.
