Adjusting the Ribbon Saver Mechanics

The lower print unit is equipped with a ribbon saver. The saver automatic reduced the consumption of color ribbon,
because in case of the saver mode the movement will interrupted by lifting the printhead. This is operated by a
eccentric, which is controlled by a light sensor. A failure in adjustment is possible if the transport of the ribbon is
stopped generally or it will make all movements like the label material.
Danger!
Risk of death via electric shock!
 Before opening the rear cover, disconnect the device from the mains supply and wait at lease one
minute until the power supply unit has discharged.
