Calibrating the Ribbon ID Sensor Board

 

 

 

 

Step

Procedure

 

 

 

14

Read the voltage at R35; it should read + 0.75 V dc. Note: If the voltage is lower

 

than + 0.75, the magnet of the ID sensor is too close to the hall - effect sensor.

 

 

15

Use the blade tip of the exacto knife to slide the magnetic cylinder held by the

 

plastic housing at the Ribbon ID Sensor Board. This process requires moderate-

 

to high-level coordination and dexterity. Patience and concentration are key.

 

 

16

Place the tip of the exacto blade at the forward side (towards the ribbon hub) of

 

the magnetic cylinder; slide it towards the front of the printer. The amount of

 

movement needed is very small, half the thickness of the exacto blade.

 

 

 

17

Remove the knife from the Ribbon ID Sensor Board.

 

 

 

18

Measure the voltage at R35. If the voltage is higher than + 0.75, the magnetic

 

cylinder is too far from the hall - effect sensor. The magnetic cylinder should be

 

moved towards the ribbon hub.
