The printer's chassis is made up by three main parts:
• The center section
• The bottom plate
• The rear plate
The center section is used for fi tting all parts concerned with the
actual printing, such as the print unit, the ribbon mechanism, the
liner/batch takeup unit, the slack absorber, the media supply, and
various sensors. For maximum stability, the center section is fi tted
to the bottom plate, the rear plate and the front moulding by a total
of ten #T20 Torx screws. There is also a bracket between the center
section and the rear plate.
In the electronics compartment, both the CPU board and the power
supply are fi tted to the center section.
To avoid ribbon wrinkling and media misalignment, it is impera-
tive that the printer stands on an even surface and the center section
is straight. If such problems should occur, especially after transpor-
tation, check that the center section is straight.
