Adjustment, cont'd.
• By turning the Torx screwdriver, you can move the outer end of
the roller back and forth:
- Turn it clockwise to move the end of the roller forward.
- Turn it counter-clockwise to move the end of the roller
rearward.
• If the ribbon gets wrinkled at the inner edge, you should move
the end of the roller slightly rearward, i.e. rotate the screwdriver
c.c.w. and vice versa.
• Select an appropriate layout, e.g. a test label, and print it
repeatedly while carefully moving the end of the roller back or
forth, depending on which side the wrinkling has occurred.
• When the wrinkling ceases, continue the movement ever so
slightly to create a small safety margin. The movement is best
detected by the relation between the roller bearing and the hole
through the upper gable.
Another method is to determine the positions where wrinkling
starts at either side and adjust the roller to the middle.
• You will need to print several labels before a new adjustment has
any noticeable effect.
• When you are satisfied that the problem is cleared, tighten the
locking screw and test again by printing several more labels.
Readjust if necessary.
