A wrinkled ribbon can negatively affect print image. The round silver print ribbon deflection bar can be adjusted to prevent wrinkles.
Note: The adjustment is carried out during printing.
• Using a 2.5mm Allen wrench, turn the screw at the end of the round silver deflection bar to observe the behavior of the ribbon wrinkling
during printing.
• Turn the screw clockwise to tighten the right-hand edge of the ribbon or counter-clockwise to tighten the left-hand edge of the ribbon.
