LUBRICATION
CAUTION:
1.
Lubrication: During parts replacement
2.
Kinds of oil: FLOIL G-488: 1Kg can. (Part No. 19454906001)
3.
Do not spray the inside of the printer with lubricants. Unsuitable oil can damage the mechanism.
All machines are generally delivered in their best condition. Efforts should be made to keep them that way. Lack of oil, or the presence of debris or dust, may cause an unexpected failure. To maintain in optimal operation condition, periodically clean the machine and apply the proper kinds of oil to each part in which lubrication is needed.
Although the frequency of lubrication varies according to how often the machine is used, as a minimum it is necessary to lubricate before any part becomes dry. It is also necessary to wipe off excessive oil or it will collect dirt.

5) Closet the top cover.
6) Remove the VR blind cover from the rear of the printer and set the DIP switch 2-2 to ON.
7) When the cut position needs to be fine adjusted, refer to section 5.3.1.2.
■
Adjust Cut Angle
When the cutter cuts media obliquely, follow the procedure below to adjust the cut angle.
1) Loosen the two SMW-4x8 screws.
2) Move the guide plate back or forth so that the cutter is perpendicular to the media. Tighten the same
SMW-4x8 screws.

1) Remove the ribbon stopper from the ribbon shaft.
2) When the CB-1904-RK-QM Super Premium Ribbon Kit is installed in the printer, attach the enclosed ribbon tension sheet and the sheet fixing plate using the following procedure.
NOTE:
Do not attach the ribbon tension sheet to the ribbon module when the CB-1904-RK-QM is not installed.
Remove the ribbon guide lever from the ribbon module.
Fit the bosses on the sheet fixing plate into the holes of the ribbon tension sheet and the aluminum frame. Secure them with the three D-3x5 screws.
The double-sided adhesive tape does not need to be used.
NOTE:
Do not reassemble the ribbon guide lever, ribbon guide lever shaft and D-3x6 screw because they are unused after the ribbon tension guide sheet has been installed.

3.3 PRINT HEAD FAN
3.3 PRINT HEAD FAN
When printing a high print rate pattern in batch mode, the print head will overheat, causing the print head protection circuit to be activated. This will stop printing with displaying the error message “EXCESS
HEAD TEMP”. (e.g. When the printer prints an entire black pattern at a speed of 6"/sec., it may stop printing after about a 6-minute operation.)
1) Unplug the power cord.
2) Remove the side panel (L) from the printer.
3) Attach the print head fan to the print head frame with the enclosed two SM-3x12 screws.
4) Connect the print head fan to the head fan harness and fix it with the cable clip.
NOTE:
The harnesses and cable clips should be installed so they do not obstruct removal and installation of the ribbon modules.
