adiust the ribbon feed plate forward or back so
that the ribbon feed pawl holds the reverse interposer
within .001" to .015" of its total travel (Fig. 194).
The adjustment not only insures sufficient throw for a re-
versing operation, but also gives optimum ribbon feed
results
by
determining the rest and active positions for
the pawl.
CAUTION:
After completing the adiustment
1
manually
cycle a character to check that two teeth feed is ob-
tained plus .005" to .020" overthrow.
Be sure that the feed pawl does not contact the inter-
poser lever as the pawl is manually reversed from side to
side.

Cartridge Guides - Form the ribbon feed plate lug that
guides the cartridge into position so that the ribbon
spools are centered in the holes of the cartridge and
there is .001" to .010" lateral movement of the cart-
ri dge.
5.
Ribbon Lift Guide Plate - Adiust the plate as low as
possible without causing a change in the ribbon lift guide
height as the ribbon lift lever is moved from the low lift
to the high lift position (Fig. 195). The ribbon lift cam
should be at the low point when the check is made.

lift lever is moved into the high lift position.

position. The lock is located under the right front cor-
ner of the carrier.
