Service the Embosser Module
Service the embosser by following these steps. If you discover any issues you can not resolve, contact
MagTek Support Services to procure a replacement embosser module.
1)
Use compressed air to clean the embosser bridge (the metal block between the daisy wheels that
supports the indent cartridge ribbon).
2)
Inspect the top and bottom embosser daisy wheels for missing or worn characters and replace them if
possible. After installing, make sure the tine is still intact and holds the character tightly.
3)
Inspect the top and bottom embosser daisy wheels for missing, bent, or broken
tines
. Install any
missing characters on other tines and re-map them after preventive maintenance is complete and the
device is powered up.
4)
Inspect the characters on the
top
embosser wheel to identify any broken or bent
cones
.
5)
Use the inspection mirror and a flashlight to inspect the characters on the
bottom
embosser wheel to
identify any broken or bent
cones
(see
).

6)
If any cones are broken or bent, replace the characters in the same location if possible. If replacement
is not feasible, cut off the top and bottom tines using the diagonal side cutters, remove the character
from the tines, and install it to another set of tines, and re-map the character to another tine after
preventive maintenance is complete and the device is powered up.
