NOTES on using ribbon:
If the difference between the ribbon width and the paper width is too large, the ribbon may wrinkle. Refer
to the table below and choose the paper appropriate to the ribbon width. Even if the ribbon is narrower
than paper, printing can be performed. However, it results in the narrower print range.

The ribbon tension adjustment may be further required according to the ribbon width. In the case a
narrower width of the ribbon is used, if the ribbon tension is strong, the ribbon will wrinkle. According to the
print patterns, fine adjustment of the ribbon take-up motor is required. As a guide, regardless of the print
speed, it should be set to "-3" (FW) and "-1" (BK) for 68-mm wide ribbon, and "-4" (FW) and "-2" (BK) for
50-mm wide or less ribbon, respectively.
