Ribbon Tension Adjustment - Century Falcon 4 Plus Series User Manual

5-3. Ribbon Tension Adjustment

The ribbon shaft tension can be
adjusted by turning the ribbon shaft
knob clockwise or counterclockwise.
There are 4 different levels of tension
and marked with 1~4 on both knobs of
Ribbon Rewind Shaft and Ribbon
Supply Shaft. 1 represents the strongest
tension and 4 is the weakest tension.
When the tension is too weak to pull the
ribbon, please decrease the tension of
Ribbon Supply Shaft or increase the
tension of Ribbon Rewind Shaft. To
adjust the ribbon shaft knob, please
push the knob inward and then start to
turn.
If the ribbon wrinkles occurs during
printing due to the differences of ribbon
materials, please increase the tension
by turning Ribbon Rewind Shaft Knob
clockwise. (For more detail about the
ribbon wrinkle problem, please refer to
Chapter5-6)
If a narrower ribbon is used (especially
when ribbon width is less than 2"), the
printer might have problem to pull the
labels. In this case, please decrease the
tension by turning Ribbon Supply Shaft
Knob counterclockwise. Moreover, the
Ribbon Roll maybe difficult to be
removed because of the shape-change
that result from over-power tension. In
this case, please decrease both
tensions of Ribbon Supply Shaft and
Ribbon Rewind Shaft by turning Knobs
counterclockwise.
