Excessive ribbon unwind and rewind tension will result in variable ribbon motion and

could be t e cause of print quality problems.

Follow t e procedures 1 and 2 to verify t at t e ribbon unwind and rewind tensions are

wit in specifications or if adjustment of eit er clutc is necessary.

Proc 1 Ribbon Unwind Clutch Adjustment

Required Equipment:  1 Kg Tension Gauge

 Ribbon Core, empty

 String

 12mm Wrenc

 #2 Pozidrv Screwdriver

STEP PROCEDURE

1. Connect t e power cable to t e printer and AC outlet. Turn t e printer

ON.

2. Raise t e access door and remove t e ribbon and label stock if installed.

Fig. 1

3. Attac string to an empty ribbon core and place on t e Ribbon Unwind

Spindle. Wind t e string tig tly around t e ribbon core in a single layer

and in a clockwise direction. Attac t e free end of t e string to t e

tension gauge. Fig. 2 & 3

4. Gradually lift t e tension gauge, pulling t e string to unwind it from t e

core. Once t e spindle begins to move, t e gauge s ould indicate 450 to

550 grams of tension. Excessive or insufficient tension must be corrected

by adjusting t e Ribbon Unwind Clutc . Fig. 2 & 3

5. To adjust t e clutc , loosen t e locking screw and move t e adjust nut CW

for more tension and CCW for less tension. Tig ten t e locking screw and

repeat Steps 3 and 4 until t e correct tension is ac ieved.

Ribbon Clutch Adjustments

SATO CL608e/CL612e Mechanical Adjustments

STEP PROCEDURE

1. Run a test print. Fig. 5

2. By adjusting t e Allen ead screws on t e rear of t e Stay, you can move

t e print ead forward or backward. T is allows you to position t e

burnline of t e print ead directly and evenly over t e apex of t e platen

surface. Fig. 6 & 7

3. W ile printing t e test pattern, adjust t e Allen adjustment screws for t e

best print quality. NOTE: It is vital t at a known good platen be in t e

unit.

4. Verify t e image is even on t e label by measuring t e distance from t e

bottom of t e barcode to t e bottom of t e label on bot sides. Refer to

Fig. 5. If uneven, adjust t e Allen adjustment screws to correct t e

alignment. T is may affect t e print quality and may need to be

readjusted.

5. If you are unable to get t e unit to produce good print quality, proceed to

Print Head Balance Adjustment and perform t e adjustment; t en return

to t is section and redo t e Print Head Position Adjustment. NOTE: You

may ave to do bot of t ese adjustments concurrently several times to

ac ieve proper print quality and alignment.

STEP PROCEDURE

1. Connect t e power cable to t e printer and AC outlet. Turn t e printer ON.

2. Remove (3) screws olding t e left side cover to t e printer. Raise t e
