Do not leave type in a hot machine for an extended period of time. As soon as you have
finished printing, remove the Type Holder from the machine and return the type back into the
type box.
The following instructions are intended to aid those who have little or no experience with
typesetting. As one gains experience in setting type, different ways of shortening the process will
become apparent.
Printing with a 1-Line or 2-Line Type Holder
In many printing jobs, the print pattern is often limited to one or two lines. Although one or two line
jobs may be accomplished by means of the Open Chase Type Holder, many prefer the convenience
and simplicity of the 1-Line or 2-Line Type Holder. For example, ribbon printing is best done with a
1-Line Type Holder, whereas matchbook covers can best be printed using the 2-Line Type Holder.
The 1-Line or 2-Line Type Holder is used in combination with a corresponding Adapter Sleeve.
1. Insert the Adapter Sleeve into the Heater Platen and lock it by flipping the Butterfly Clips on
the side of the Heater Platen.
2. Hold the Type Holder with the handle pointing towards your left. Set your type onto the Type
Holder from left to right with the nick facing UP. The letters will appear upside down.
3. After the type is set, add spacers (starting with large spacers first) on either side of your type
to fill in the blank spaces while keeping the type centered.
4. Tighten the thumbscrew(s) on the right of the Type Holder to hold the type in place.
CAUTION:
•
You should only turn the screws until they stop. Over tightening can damage the type and
the Type Holder. If you find it necessary to use a small screwdriver to aid in tightening
the thumbscrew(s), be sure to never exceed 1/8 of a turn.
