Settings for all printers
Ribbon tension
The tension of the ribbon unwind reel (1)
and ribbon rewind reel (2) can be set using
the red plastic hexagons on the ribbon
reels. If these are turned clockwise, the
tension increases (Fig. 1: dispenser
version).
Default settings
The default settings covers a wide range of
ribbon widths, but you may need to adjust
the settings for very narrow or very wide
ribbons.
Setting
During feeding, the ribbon must run evenly
(no creases) for the entire length between
the reels. Use the following guidelines:
If the ribbon is loose, creased, or is loosely
wound on the rewind reel.
« Increase the unwind/rewind tension
(Turn the red hex nut clockwise).
If the ribbon visibly stretches or tears
during printing. The ribbon is not loaded
correctly.
« Decrease the unwind/rewind tension
(Turn the red hex nut counter-clockwise).
