MOUNTING CONFIGURATION CONVERSION
LEFTHAND/RIGHTHAND FIELD CONVERSION
Mounting configuration conversion involves the “mirror image” reversal of the pivot arm assembly that holds the inking system and the tension arm assembly which provides the printing pressure. Indexing printers require the additional reversal of the index ramp and repositioning of the index ring.
