H3.7 Ribbon Tension Adjustments (CLP 7201e, 7202e)

The CLP 7201e and 7202e feature an automatic ribbon tensioning system to keep even tension during a print run.

If you receive a “Ribbon Out” error message during normal operation, you may need to adjust the tensioning system.

With some specialist ribbons and occasionally with narrow width ribbons, the base level of the ribbon tensioning system may need to be adjusted.

Easy-to-slip ribbon and media

Set the feeding section tension adjuster to the

LOW position.

Especially-easy-to-slip ribbon and media

Should the “Ribbon Out” error still occur, set the feeding section adjuster to the SUPER LOW position.

When ribbon is broken during printing

The ribbon may be broken if it is narrow in width and printhead heat temperature is high. In that case, set the mark on the feeding section to SUPER LOW and set the mark on the winding section to LOW by turning the adjust-knob and adjust-screw respectively.

Note: If the problem is still not resolved, please contact our service personnel.
