Chapter 12—Adjustments

Ribbon Break Shaft

If ribbon wrinkling occurs, you may need to adjust the alignment of the

front ribbon break shaft so that it runs parallel to the printhead and the

ribbon supply and rewind hubs. The adjustment is done using a straight-

slot screw that is located immediately behind the front ribbon break

shaft.

• If the ribbon tends to slide outwards, turn the screw carefully clock-

wise (fw) to move the outer end of the break shaft forward.

• If the ribbon tends to slide inwards, turn the screw carefully counter-

clockwise (bw) to move the outer end of the break shaft backward.

Before readjusting the break shaft, make sure that there is

no other cause for the wrinkling of the ribbon. (See Chap-

ter 10, “Troubleshooting.”)
