2.3 Printer Parameter Fine Adjustment

2.3.6 Ribbon Motor Voltage Fine Adjustment (Feed/Take-up Motor)

This parameter is to fine adjust the Ribbon Motor Voltage (Torque).

When the ribbon is slack or wrinkled and printing is affected, fine adjust the ribbon motor torque by using the following procedure.

When “<3>ADJUST SET” appears, press the [PAUSE] key until the following display appears.

<3>ADJUST SET RBN ADJ<FW> +0

Ribbon take-up motor voltage

To fine adjust the ribbon feed motor voltage, press the [PAUSE] key again.

<3>ADJUST SET RBN ADJ<BK> +0

Ribbon feed motor voltage

When the LCD display shows “RBN ADJ<FW>” or “RBN ADJ<BK>”, select a desired option with the [FEED] or [RESTART] key. (Range: -15 to +0 for take-up motor / -15 to +10 for feed motor)

[FEED] key: Pressing the [FEED] key one time causes a –1 step change, up to –15 steps.

[RESTART] key: Pressing the [RESTART] key one time causes a +1 step change, up to +0 steps for take- up motor / +10 for feed motor.

After completing the fine adjustment, press the [PAUSE] key.

NOTES: 1. The fine adjustment value equals to the sum of the fine adjustment values set by the PC command and this parameter. The maximum ribbon motor voltage fine adjustment value is -15. When the value reached the maximum, the value remains unchanged even if the subsequent fine adjustment is performed.

2.One step corresponds to 5% of the standard voltage and up to 75% of the voltage can be decreased.

3.Please make this adjustment if a ribbon error occurs though the ribbon is proper.
