Ribbon Break Shaft

120
If ribbon wrinkling occurs, you may need to adjust the alignment
of the front ribbon break shaft so that it runs parallel to the
printhead and the ribbon supply and rewind hubs. The
adjustment is done using a straightslot screw that is located
immediately behind the front ribbon break shaft.
• If the ribbon tends to slide outwards, turn the screw carefully
clockwise (fw) to move the outer end of the break shaft
forward.
• If the ribbon tends to slide inwards, turn the screw carefully
counterclockwise (bw) to move the outer end of the break
shaft backward.
Before readjusting the break shaft, make sure that there is no
other cause for the wrinkling of the ribbon. (See
