6.8 Ribbon Shield Settings
The use of different ribbon materials may cause wrinkling of the ribbon, which in turn affects the print result as illustrated by the
examples in (a) and (b). To change the print quality, adjust the ribbon shield screws.
If the print result looks like the example in (a), turn ribbon shield screw clockwise.
If the print result looks like the example in (b), turn ribbon shield screw counterclockwise.
To keep track of the change in print quality, adjust the screws by half a turn at a time. Print a test page. If there is no
improvement in the print result, turn the screw by another half turn. Do not turn the adjustment screw more than two full
turns(360°).
NOTE: If the screw is adjusted by more than two full turns, the paper feed may no longer function correctly. In that case,
unscrew the ribbon shield screws to align the reset mark and restart the adjustment process.
