This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. [. . . ] CAUTION Be sure to wind the ribbon sufficiently over the adhesive clear tape fastened to the end of the ribbon. Perform the following sequence; open the top cover all the way until it stops at hinges, and unlock the printhead assembly by pushing the printhead release lever and raise it until it stops and stands upright. Hold by both hands the ribbon with a length of about 300 mm (1 ft) unwound between mandrels; the left hand grips the ribbon supply mandrel and the right hand grips the takeup mandrel. Temporarily winding the ribbon with a length of about 300 mm (1 ft) unwound between mandrels around the lower, bottom side of the printhead assembly, first fit both sockets of the ribbon takeup and supply mandrels, then snap into place both knobs of the ribbon takeup and supply mandrels. Remove any slack and wrinkles by turning the knob of the ribbon takeup mandrel clockwise, making sure that the ribbon is wound evenly between two mandrels. Lower the printhead assembly with ribbon and push down firmly to lock. The ribbon tension should be adjusted as needed according to the media (paper) width to prevent ribbon from wrinkling. To increase tension torque, turn the ribbon supply mandrel (the deeper side viewed from the front of the printer) knob clockwise until the required number is obtained on the scale, while stopping the gear with a coin inserted in the slit on the ribbon mandrel support and held down. If there are smudges on the print, adjust the ribbon winding torque from the control panel. Full details of using the control panel are shown later in the manual: * Page Setup Ribbon Torque Choose "Ribbon Torque" from the list of menu items. the default setting is Torque 3 so select Torque 4 or 5 to see that there are no smudges on the printout. To save the settings permanently after power off (if required) use the "Save Settings" of the Group Menu. Printhead adjustments should be made according to the type of media (paper), using the printhead adjustment lever located on the back of the printhead assembly. Generally, for media with moderate stiffness (labels), position the printhead adjustment lever to the middle of the range to put the printhead in middle position, and for media with greater stiffness (tags or card), lower the adjustment lever to the lower level to put the printhead in forward position. For media with little stiffness, raise the adjustment lever to the upper level to put the printhead in a rearward position. The printer is equipped with the upper and lower media sensors that are moved separately. Both media sensors detect the presence of media and top of form of media except continuous roll media. The media should be positioned for the media sensors as described in the following table. To adjust the media sensor position, perform the following operation: 1 Open the top cover all the way until it stops at hinges, unlock the printhead assembly by pushing the printhead release lever and open it towards the left side of the printer all the way until it stops and stands upright and at the same time unlock the transparent sensor guide by pushing the release lever and open it towards the left side of the printer all the way until it stops. When the media is a black mark tag, align the black mark with the lower sensor position mark `R. ' Then lower the transparent sensor guide fully to the end and push it to lock and route the media over the platen out to the front of the printer. When the media is a center-punched hole or notched tag, first align the hole or notch with the lower sensor position mark `T. [. . . ] genuine Citizen consumables will be you the best performance. If a defect should occur under normal use, it will be repaired free of charge during the warranty period. E Use a cotton swab or soft cloth to clean each part of the printer. â· E Hard or square tools such as screwdrivers can scratch any part of the printer. [. . . ]
