TS Series Time Stamp User’s Manual SETTING THE DIGITAL DISPLAY Models with a "C" affixed to their designation (TS50C and TS80C) denote units featuring a digital display. This display is factory-set for use in the 12-hour AM/PM format or the 24-hour (Continental) format. The digital display should always be synchronized with the time type wheels. To set the digital display and synchronize the display with the time type wheels, do the following: 1. Connect the power source. 2.
TS Series Time Stamp User’s Manual ADJUSTING PRINT IMPACT Print impact may be set to any desired level, from very hard to very light. The impact adjuster is located on the bottom of the unit. Using a small flat head screwdriver, turn the adjuster to the right to increase or left to decrease the impact. (Figure 4) Note: To extend the effective life-span of the unit, use the lightest adjustment possible, which still gives a legible imprint.
TS Series Time Stamp User’s Manual CONSECUTIVE/DUPLICATE COUNT (Numbering Units) Units equipped with the numbering feature may be configured for Consecutive Count, advancing the number type wheel after each registration, Duplicate Count, advancing the number type wheel after every two registrations., Triplicate Count, advancing the number type wheel after every three registrations, or Quad Count, advancing the number type wheel after every four registrations.
TS Series Time Stamp User’s Manual ADJUSTING THE REGISTRATION POSITION Depending on the type of document being stamped, it may be necessary to change the registration position. This can be accomplished by moving the trigger assembly. The trigger assembly has a range of motion of about two (2) inches forward or backward. The trigger assembly tells the unit how far the document must be inserted before activating the stamp.
TS Series Time Stamp User’s Manual CHANGING THE RIBBON TS Series time stamps use a silk ribbon for long-lasting, high-quality imprints. To avoid damaging the unit, use only 1307-5008 (purple), 1307-5009 (red) or 1307-5010 (black) ribbon. To change the ribbon: 1. Disconnect the power source. 2. Remove the top cover. Remove the frame locking pin and lift the top frame (as described on Page 6, Figure 2). 3. Pull the front spool plunger knob (Figure 8, Number 1) away from unit.
TS Series Time Stamp User’s Manual CHANGING THE FUSE Each model of the TS Series comes equipped with a fuse. The fuse protects the unit from damage in case of a power surge or electrical overload. If too much power reaches the fuse, the fuse burns out, or is "blown," stopping operation of the unit and avoiding costly damage. To change the fuse: 1. Disconnect the power source. 2. Remove top cover and frame locking pin as described on Page 6. Lift top frame. 3.
TS Series Time Stamp User’s Manual CHANGING THE PLATEN 1. Disconnect the power source. 2. Remove the top cover. Remove the frame locking pin and lift the top frame.
