5.2.3. Ribbon Tension Adjustment
The ribbon tension should be adjusted as needed according to the
consumables (your foil and your print media, paper e.g).
Generally said: the wider the media and the ribbon are, the greater
the ribbon tension required.

A) Increasing the ribbon tension
After inserting a new ribbon roll, ribbon wrinkles may occur
(due to different ribbon material properties).
To solve this problem the ribbon tension has to be increased:
1. Insert a coin in to the slit on the ribbon drive mechanism
and hold down to lock the gear.
