Setting the ribbon zero line
It is possible to move the ribbon zero line
relatively to the label web zero line. To do so,
put additional spacing rings (1) on both ribbon
mandrels or replace some of the available
spacing rings by thicker or thinner ones.
Basic setting:
Printer
Spacing ring per ribbon
mandrel
64-xx 1 x 5 mm, 2 x 6 mm
64-xx
Dispenser
1 x 6 mm, 2 x 8 mm
Exchanging a spacing ring:
Pull the cap (2) off the ribbon mandrel
and remove the spacing ring (1).
Setting the braking torque
The braking torques of the foil mandrels (3)
can be set by turning the red hexagon on
each mandrel. Turn clockwise to increase the
torque.
The traction exerted on the foil is in proportion
to the winding/unwinding torque. To set the
braking torque, measure the traction with a
spring balance.
Tools
Spring balance 50N (4)
(article number 93665-00-0)
Procedure
1. Put an empty cardboard sleeve onto the
foil mandrel.
2. Wrap foil a few times round the
cardboard sleeve. Fix the end of the foil
to the backing paper.
3. Twist the other end of the foil together
and knot it into a loop.
4. Hook the spring balance [4] into the foil
loop and pull on it until the foil mandrel
turns slowly and steady. Read off the
traction.
