The Knurled Drive Wheel rests on top of the Transfer Roll
“G”. The Transfer Roll has 3 stainless, protruding drive
pins which fit through 3 mating holes in the Knurled Drive
Wheel “E”. This is a close tolerance fit and there will be
some resistance from the engagement with the rubber
Bearer Ring on the Print Drum when this is removed. A
slight rotation or wiggling action will make removal easier.
4 - Remove the Knurled Drive Wheel “E”.
Rolls which have been pre-inked at the factory are typically
over saturated with ink to compensate for potential solvent
loss during shipping and storage. Installing an over
saturated roll on the coder will result in ink leakage from
the Inking System and in extreme cases may damage
the ball bearings in the Transfer Roll. When the roller is
installed, it must be thoroughly saturated with ink but you
should not be able to see any liquid ink on the surface of
the roll. If necessary, blot excess ink from the sides of
the roll with a dry paper towel before installation.
The Transfer Roll Surface is a finely engraved Delrin
plastic material which can be easily scratched. When
assembled, the Transfer Roll resides in a very close
fitting cavity in the Inking System Cover. Carefully pull
the Inking System Cover directly away from the
Baseplate until it clears the Transfer Roll to prevent
damage to the Transfer Roll surface.
You want to keep ink off your gloves at this stage to
prevent contamination of the external parts of the coder
during roll installation.
5 -Carefully pull the Inking System Cover “D” directly
away from the Inking System Baseplate “F”. Do not
let the cover drag across the surface of the Transfer
Roll “G”.
6 - Put on a pair of rubber gloves, open the storage
container and remove the pre-inked ink roller by
inserting a small rod (a pencil or a screwdriver works
nicely) in the center of the core.
7 -Inspect the roller for excess surface wetness.
Remove any excess ink by rolling the roll lightly over
a piece of absorbent paper.
