4)
To adjust how long the embosser hammer will press that specific character into the card before lifting
back off to the embosser home position, change the

setting. The setting is in increments of 10
milliseconds, so a value of 5 equals a hold time of 50 ms. In most cases, setting
Hold
to 0 should
produce acceptable results:

field.

Enter a new value using the keyboard, or use the up and down arrows to adjust the value. You
can set how quickly the arrows will change the value by pressing the
N per tap
button.
5)
To adjust the depth the hammer will press that specific character into cards, change the
Char Height
setting. The device adds this value to the its global
EmbossAngleTop
and
EmbossAngleBottom
settings, or
IndentAngleTop
and
IndentAngleBottom
settings, as appropriate (see section
). To increase the embossed depth of that specific character,
increase the value; to decrease the embossed depth of a given character, decrease the value. The valid
range is from -127 to +127, but typical values are in the -20 to +40 range.

Save All
button to save the settings for all tines
