3. Ribbon Step Distance Adjustment. The step distance is the amount of tape pulled through
by each printing stroke. If the step distance is higher, more ribbon will be consumed during
print. This distance is controlled by the bolt located at the back of the machine. Loosen the
butterfly-shaped nut found on the bolt. Moving the bolt upwards will reduce the step distance
and moving the bolt downwards will increase the step distance. Once the optimal step distance
is acquired, tighten the butterfly-shaped nut. The tape should advance just enough to present a
new surface on each impression.
Figure 28. Ribbon Step Distance Adjustment. Loosen the butterfly-shaped nut found on the bolt. Moving the bolt upwards will reduce the step distance
and moving the bolt downwards will increase the step distance.
Changing Type
Typesets are easily changed but please use caution as the printing head/typeset holder will be
extremely hot when taken out of the imprinter. Using an allen wrench, loosen the set screws (Part# HP-
280-58) to release the typesets. Insert new types into the printing head/typeset holder and tighten set screw
to ensure types do not fall out when inserted into the printing block. Additional types may be ordered as
needed. Please ask your distributor for more details.
