Ribbon Tension Adjustment
Both ribbon supply spindle and ribbon pickup spindle are equipped
with control knobs to adjust ribbon tension. The control knobs can
rotate to both directions. Rotate the control knob clockwise to
increase ribbon tension; rotate it counter-clockwise to reduce ribbon
tension.
If the ribbon is wrinkled at ribbon supply, rotate clockwise control
knob of ribbon supply, to increase ribbon tension at ribbon supply
and further improve ribbon wrinkle. However, please be noted, too
much tension at ribbon supply may result in ribbon not moving
smoothly. Once it happens, rotate counter-clockwise control knob of
ribbon supply, to increase ribbon tension to balance the tension.
If the ribbon is wrinkled at ribbon pickup, rotate counter-clockwise
control knob of ribbon pickup, to decrease ribbon tension at ribbon
pickup and further improve ribbon wrinkle. If the tension is too little
at ribbon pickup, ribbon will not move smoothly, and needs control
knob to rotate clockwise to increase tension.
[Remark]:
The ribbon shaft has its user-friendly feature to allow users to adjust
the tension of ribbon shaft by rotating the knob. User can reset to
factory default tension by adjusting the ribbon shaft while the black
line was aligned to the marked arrows. The default setting when
shipped from Argox factory is shown as Figure 2
– the two arrows
are in line with the black line.
