5-2 Maintenance of the Marking Pins

The machine's head has nine pins. Printing is performed using these pins one at a time. If the tip of the pin in use
becomes worn, you can change the pin used for printing. You can also perform adjustment to ensure that each pin uses
the same striking force.
You carry out all of these maintenance activities using the included [MPX-70 Head Manager] program.

Checking the State of the Marking Pins

The state of each pin is shown.
If the indicator for the pin you're using is red, then replace it with a new pin.
If attractive printing is impossible or printed images are uneven even though the scale is not red, then change to a new
pin.
