B)
Decreasing the ribbon tension
If narrow ribbon is used (ribbon widths of less than 2”, e.g.), the
printer might have a
problem
feeding the material
.
Moreover, the ribbon maybe difficult to be removed caused by a
high ribbon tension. Excessive values of ribbon tension may
cause shapechanges of the ribbon, too.
To solve this problems the ribbon tension has to be decreased:
1.
Push the adjusting ring of the ribbon rewind shaft towards
the ribbon roll. See figure 5.3.2.a.
2.
Then turn the adjusting ring of the
ribbon rewind shaft
counterclockwise to
decrease
the
ribbon tension
, while
you hold the ribbon roll with the other hand.
3.
Push the adjusting ring of the ribbon supply shaft towards
the ribbon roll. See figure 5.3.2.b.
4.
Then turn the adjusting ring of the
ribbon supply shaft
counterclockwise to
decrease
the
ribbon tension
, while
you hold the ribbon roll with the other hand.
5.
Check that the ribbon has no folds and is running straight.
Optimize your adjustment of the ribbon tension, if need be.
Check to see that slack and wrinkles on the ribbon are removed
completely. Do not be afraid to ’waste’ a little extra ribbon to
ensure the ribbon is running correctly and wrinkle-free.
