∗For installing reinforcing plates, adjust the length of the reinforcing plate to conform with the layout in the mechanism and the steel case.

Design the length between FFC terminals so that loads cannot be made after connecting to the PCB. This is because the head unit can be slid back and forth by opening and closing the platen.
