Roller Down Distance; Transport Apply Speed - DataCard CP80 Plus Service Manual

Roller Down Distance

The Roller Down Distance determines how far the heater lift cam rotates toward
the down position.
• When the heated roller is down, the bias spring controls the roller pressure,
so the lift cam should not be touching the heater slide assembly.
