Printing Operation - FRS-1120W
FRS-112W is equipped with a hot stamp ribbon printer. The printer works much like an analog printing
press. Types are loaded into the imprinter then heated. An inked printing ribbon sits between the type and
material to be printed. The heated type presses onto the ribbon, melting the ink onto the material. A spring
biased dancer assembly having a idler roller maintains a tension on the inked print ribbon as the inked print
ribbon is transferred from a supply reel to a rewind reel. To change the code of the hot stamp, types can be
easily replaced.

2. To install the hot stamp ribbon, web the imprinter per diagram below (Figure 26). Be sure that
the dull side (pigment) of the tape faces away from printing head and toward the base of the
imprinter. To web the ribbon through the ribbon press wheel, pull the handle upwards to release
the ribbon press wheel. Lock the ribbon to the collect wheel by using a piece of scotch tape to
adhere the ribbon to the collect wheel.
