Characters which have only a 2 or 3 rib backing do not
have the stability of the larger sizes when snapped into
the drum cover. Adding the rib backed type blocks on
either size of the code will provide added stability. The
Type Blocks are not as thick as the Type and will not pick
up ink from the Transfer Roll.
The Cover Retaining Knob should be just tight enough
to keep the Inking System Assembly together and pre-
vent the Drive Wheel Cover from rotating out of position.
INSTALLING THE PRINTING DIES
Individual character codes or text messages are installed
in a mirror image of normal written text. In other words
install in a right to left direction as shown. When printed,
codes or text installed in this orientation will print in nor-
mal left to right order.
Tip: To make die installation easier, moisten a sponge with water containing a small amount of liquid
detergent. Lightly moisten the back of the printing die and then immediately press the die into the drum
cover. Do not apply too much liquid or the dies will slip during printing. Note: Do not apply silicone, oil
or any other lubricating agent to the rib backing or the dies will not hold properly during printing.
12 - Replace the Cover Retaining Knob “C” and lightly
tighten. Do not over tighten this knob or you may bend
the top of the Drive Wheel Cover “B” and cause it to
bind against the Knurled Drive Wheel.
1 - Install the Printing Dies “I” on the Print Drum “J” by
aligning the ribbed backing on the dies with the mat-
ing covering on the Print Drum and pressing firmly
until they are completely engaged. It is best to install
the dies as close to the middle of the pint area on the
Print Drum as possible.
2 - When using small individual characters to make up a
code message, use the Type Blocking Kit “K” included
with your coder to support the leading and trailing ends
of the type as shown.
