Explanation

Example

Fine adjustment direction is “+”: 00 to 10 (in units of 1 step)

Fine adjustment direction is “-”: 00 to 15 (in units of 1 step)

(1)If wrinkles occur on the ribbon, they can be prevented by adjusting the ribbon motor drive voltage by this command.

(2)-1 step corresponds to -5% of the standard drive voltage.

(3)The ribbon motor drive voltage fine adjustment value is protected in memory (even if the power is turned off).

(4)If the ribbon motor drive voltage fine adjustment value has been set in the system mode (key operation on the printer), the fine adjustment values for the ribbon motors (rewind/back tension) will be the sum of the fine adjustment in the system mode and the fine adjustment by this command. The maximum fine adjustment values are +6 (+30%) or -15 (-75%) for the ribbon rewind motor, and +10 (+50%) or -15 (-75%) for the ribbon back tension motor.

(5)When RAM clear is performed, the fine adjustment values for both fine adjust commands (rewind/back tension) and the system mode are “00”.

(6)The fine adjustment values for both fine adjust commands (rewind/back tension) and the system mode are “00” at the time of shipment from the factory.

To set the value for the ribbon motor (rewind) to -3, and the value for the ribbon motor (back tension) to -2.
