Press the PRINT switch on the control unit if the printer is to be put on-line.
FITTING TYPE/DIE HOLDER
NEVER ASSUME THAT A TYPE/DIE HOLDER IS COLD.
Only pick up the type/die holder by its handle. Ensure that the face of the magnetic catch is
clean, remove the foil magazine as detailed above, align the type/die holder within the two side
locators and slide in until the magnet catches on the keep plate. Re-fit the foil magazine.
FOIL FEED ADJUSTING SCREW (refer to page 29)
This adjusts the amount of foil used per print. Winding the adjusting screw in in reduces the
foil pull and vice versa. Ensure that the locking nut is fully tightened after adjustment. A gap
of 1 to 2mm is recommended between each portion of used foil.
