The adjustable ribbon handler feature allows adjustment to the ribbon supply hub which provides optimum tension when using different widths of media or ribbon.

1. Turn ‘off’ the printer.

2. Hold the ribbon supply spindle and rotate the ribbon tension adjustment knob to meet your media/ribbon widths based on the table below. Ensure that the ribbon tension adjustment knob is turned fully to the clockwise or counter-clockwise position, the knob will no longer turn once it is in the proper position, do not force or over turn.
