4.10 How to Remove / Re-install Embosser Fonts
Under normal circumstances, the characters on the embosser module’s daisy wheel do not need to be
removed. Embosser characters should be removed and replaced as little as possible, because removal
causes the tine to wear and eventually become less effective at holding characters. If a tine breaks,
however, it may be necessary to move its character to a new tine.
Figure 4-70 - Removing a Character from the Embosser Module Daisy Wheel
To remove a character from a tine on the embosser module’s daisy wheel, follow these steps:
1) Prepare the device for replacing parts by following the steps in section 4.1 How to Prepare the
Device for Removing / Re-installing Modules. At the end, the device should be powered down with
all external cables safely disconnected.
2) Insert an X-Acto knife between the tine and the character as shown in Figure 4-70.
3) Carefully pry the character toward the ceiling until you can remove it with your fingers.
4) Prepare the character for installation in the new time by making sure it is oriented correctly.
5) Support the tine, then press the character into place with your fingers.
6) Notify the EC2000’s software that the character has moved. For detailed instructions, refer to section
2.9.4 How to Use the Character Mapping Page.
