Transport mode
Command: Form Feed + power.
To find the correct position for the printing head in order to get the transport lockers on their places,
press the Form Feed key while you power up the embosser. The printing head will find the correct
centre position, and then echo: “Index 4X4 PRO ready”. Turn the embosser off again, and insert the
lockers by pressing them downwards at the edge of each side in the sheet feeder.
Note! It is very important to install the printing head transportation lockers before you pack the
embosser in the original box. Ignoring this can cause major damage to the embosser.
