Chapter 11 Adjustments
Ribbon Break
Shaft If ribbon wrinkling is occurring, you may need to adjust the
alignment of the front ribbon break shaft so that it runs parallel to the
printhead and the ribbon supply and rewind hubs. The adjustment is
done using a straight-slot screw that is located immediately behind
the front ribbon break shaft.
• If the ribbon tends to slide outwards, turn the screw carefully
clockwise (fw) to move the outer end of the break shaft
forward.
• If the ribbon tends to slide inwards, turn the screw carefully
counterclockwise (bw) to move the outer end of the break
shaft backward.
Important!
Before readjusting the break shaft, make sure that there is no
other cause for the wrinkling of the ribbon (See Chapter 9,
“Troubleshooting.”)
