26.6 Ribbon Save
Device Troubles, cont.
Jammed receiving face materials
• Check that the springs of the pressing roller unit press it against
the rear drive roller with such a force that the receiving face
material does not slip.
• Check that the receiving face material is properly loaded, that
all adjustments of the paper guides are OK, and that there is no
obstruction of the face material coming out of the printer, for
example an incorrectly fi tted tear bar or paper cutter.
• In case of fan-folded face material from an external supply,
additional edge guides should be fi tted, see Chapter 5.2.
• When the printer is used for tear off or cut off operation (as
opposed to peel-off) and the ribbon save device is activated,
weak and thin face materials may get jammed. Since the face
material is pushed forward by the rear pressing roll only when
the printhead is lifted, a certain stiffness of the face material is
required.
Ribbon gets wrinkled or bad printout
• Check that the program and setup do not contain any instruc-
tions which will pull back the paper, for example negative
start or stop adjust values or negative FORMFEED statements,
while the ribbon save device is switched off (RIBBON SAVE
OFF).
• Check that the nuts are properly adjusted in relation to the lift-
ing bridge, see Chapter 10.7.
• Also refer to the checklist in Chapter 24.2.
