3 Use of Narrow Media/Ribbons

(Ribbon Tension Adjustments)

Ribbon tension of this printer is already adjusted to the recommended ink ribbon and media. Ribbon and media, however, may slip due to imperfect combination of ink ribbon and media, where a message 'RibonOut' will be shown on the LCD display. To resolve this problem and obtain the optimum printing condition, make adjustments in the following manner (this should be done after the printhead pressure adjustments on the previous page are made):

1. Adjusting Places

2. Adjusting Method

(1) General ribbon and media

Factory setting: both marks on winding and feeding sections are set to STANDARD so as to obtain the optimum printing condition for the recommended ink ribbon and media.
