Dual-Tension Ribbon Supply Spindle Adjustment
(If your printer is not equipped with a Dual-Tension Ribbon Supply Spindle
like the one shown in Figure 5.17, skip this section.)
Ribbon Supply Spindle: Normal Position
In the Normal Position, the Dual-Tension Spindle provides the desired amount
of ribbon back-tension for different ribbon widths.
To put the Spindle in the Normal Position, firmly pull the Spindle End-Cap until
it clicks into place, as shown in Figure 5.17.
Ribbon Supply Spindle: Low-Tension Position
Low-Tension Position is used in limited applications with ribbons wider than
2.4" (60 mm) to provide lower ribbon back-tension. Low-Tension Position is
only recommended when normal tension hampers the ribbon movement.
To put the Spindle in the Low-Tension Position, firmly push the Spindle
End-Cap until it clicks into place, as shown in Figure 5.17.
