Too much tension at ribbon supply may result in ribbon not moving smoothly. Once it
happens, rotate counterclockwise control knob of ribbon supply, to reduce ribbon
tension to balance the tension.
⚫ Rotate control knob counterclockwise to reduce ribbon 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.
Note 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.
