5.3 Ribbon Width Adjustment
The adjustable ribbon handler feature, found on printers equipped with
the thermal transfer option, allows the optimum amount tension to be
supplied by the ribbon supply hub. To adjust:
1. Turn ‘off’ the printer.
2. Hold the Hub and then rotate the Ribbon Tension Adjustment Knob
to meet your media/ribbon width based on the table below. Ensure
that the Ribbon Tension Adjustment Knob is turned fully to the
clockwise or counterclockwise position. (The knob will no longer
turn once it is in the proper position; do not force or over turn this
knob.)
