Ribbon Offset Adjustment
Manufacturing strongly recommends that this setting not be altered from the
factory default setting. Doing so presents potential problems to the system.
Use the Ribbon Offset to position the print ribbon’s yellow panel so that the
printing begins at the correct location. If the value is too low, printing may begin
on top of the registration mark. If printing begins too late, the trailing edge of the
image will print on the magenta panel. There is enough extra length in the ribbon
panel that this adjustment is not critical.
Procedure
1.
Print a test card (either white or gray—the gray card is shown below).
2.
After printing, remove the print ribbon and examine the yellow panel (some
ribbon types will not have an index mark as shown in the graphic below).
A.
Locate the first printed circle in the panel. The image will be faint, but
should be visible if the ribbon is held up to the light. (This circle is where
the red circle is printed on the card.)
B.
If the circle is less than approximately ¼ inch away from the beginning of
the panel, increase the offset.
C.
If the circle is greater than ½ inch away from the beginning of the panel,
decrease the offset.
3.
Verify the settings with a new ribbon and also with a near-empty ribbon, as
the spool diameters may impact the results.
4.
Click
Save to Power-on defaults
to store the new value permanently.
