2.3.6 Ribbon Motor Voltage Fine Adjustment (Feed/Take-up Motor)
This parameter is to fine adjust the Ribbon Motor Voltage (Torque).
When the ribbon is slack or wrinkled and printing is affected, fine adjust the ribbon motor torque by using
the following procedure.
When “<3>ADJUST SET” appears, press the [PAUSE] key until the following display appears.
To fine adjust the ribbon feed motor voltage, press the [PAUSE] key again.
When the LCD display shows “RBN ADJ<FW>” or “RBN ADJ<BK>”, select a desired option with the
[FEED] or [RESTART] key. (Range: -15 to +0 for take-up motor / -15 to +10 for feed motor)
[FEED] key: Pressing the [FEED] key one time causes a –1 step change, up to –15 steps.
[RESTART] key: Pressing the [RESTART] key one time causes a +1 step change, up to +0 steps for take-
up motor / +10 for feed motor.
After completing the fine adjustment, press the [PAUSE] key.
NOTES: 1. The fine adjustment value equals to the sum of the fine adjustment values set by the PC command
and this parameter. The maximum ribbon motor voltage fine adjustment value is -15. When the
value reached the maximum, the value remains unchanged even if the subsequent fine adjustment
is performed.
2. One step corresponds to 5% of the standard voltage and up to 75% of the voltage can be
decreased.
3. Please make this adjustment if a ribbon error occurs though the ribbon is proper.
