5.5 How to Calibrate the Indenter Module

5.5.1 About Calibrating the Indenter Module

The rear indenter module in the EC2000’s embosser moves between three positions:

LOAD position: During normal operation, it is “parked” below the embosser.

HOME position: During rear indent operations, it moves out of the embosser and places the ribbon

between the characters on the embosser wheel.

UNLOAD position: When removing the indent cartridge, it moves all the way out for easy removal.


If the indent ribbons are aligned such that indented characters are too far toward one edge of the indent
ribbon, follow the steps in this section to re-align the indenter.
