QUICK START
2 - When using the smaller individual characters to make
up a code message, use the Type Blocking Kit “Q” in-
cluded with your coder to support the leading and trail-
ing ends of the type as shown.
1 - Align the ribbed backing on the Printing Dies “P” with the
mating drum covering on the Print Drum “D” and press firmly
until they are completely engaged. It is best to install the
dies as close to the middle of the print area on the Print
Drum as possible.
INSTALLING THE PRINTING DIES
Tip: To make die installation easier, moisten a sponge with water containing a small amount of liquid
detergent. Lightly moisten the back of the printing die and then immediately press the die into the
drum cover. Do not apply too much liquid or the dies will slip during printing.
Note: Do not apply silicone, oil or any other lubricating agent to the rib backing or the dies will not hold
properly during printing.
Individual character codes or text messages are installed in a
mirror image of normal written text. In other words install in a right
to left direction as shown. When printed, codes or text installed
in this orientation will print in normal left to right order.
Characters with only a 2 or 3 rib backing do not have the stabil-
ity of the larger sizes when snapped into the drum cover. Add-
ing the rib backed type blocks on either size of the code will
provide added stability. The Type Blocks are not as thick as the
Type and will not pick up ink from the Transfer Roll.
