place. Press the PRINT switch on.
FITTING TYPE/DIE HOLDER
"Never assume that a Type/die holder is cold"
Only pick up a type/die holder by its handle. Ensure that the face of the magnetic catch
is clean. Open the red type holder access door (the alarm will sound continuously),
align the type/die holder within the two side locators and slide in until the magnet
catches on the end plate. Close the door. (Alarm stops sounding)
FOIL FEED ADJUSTMENT (See pages 15 & 16)
This is used to adjust the amount of foil used per print, adjusting the print index button
to achieve the correct index required. A gap of 1 or 2mm is recommended between
each section of used foil.
