 Chapter 11    Adjustments
Ribbon Break 
Shaft
If ribbon wrinkling is occurring, you may need to adjust the 
alignment of the front ribbon break shaft so that it runs parallel to the 
printhead and the ribbon supply and rewind hubs. The adjustment is 
done using a straight-slot screw that is located immediately behind 
the front ribbon break shaft.
•   If the ribbon tends to slide outwards, turn the screw carefully 
clockwise (fw) to move the outer end of the break shaft 
forward.
•   If the ribbon tends to slide inwards, turn the screw carefully 
counterclockwise (bw) to move the outer end of the break 
shaft backward.
Important!
Before readjusting the break shaft, make sure that there is no 
other cause for the wrinkling of the ribbon (See Chapter 9, 
“Troubleshooting.”)
