Ribbon Break Shaft - Intermec EasyCoder PM4i User Manual

Ribbon Break Shaft

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 straight-
slot screw that is located immediately behind the front ribbon break
shaft.
• If the ribbon tends to slide outwards, turn the screw carefully clock-
wise (fw) to move the outer end of the break shaft forward.
• If the ribbon tends to slide inwards, turn the screw carefully counter-
clockwise (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 Chap-
ter 10, "Troubleshooting.")
