Adjusting the Print Speed
The printing speed is critical to ensure maximum reliability of the printer.

If the printing is too fast, the print head cannot keep up and the wires get caught on the ribbon.

Remove the upper case unit according to the procedure described in item2 of chapter2.
Turn ON the power while holding down button 1 and button 2 on the Main logic board (see the illustration below).
Release the buttons when the buzzer has beeped three times. The motor will startup and the carriage will move.
Rotate the Volume to adjust the printing speed.
When LED 1 (Green) on the left turns ON, the speed is too high.
When LED 2 (Green) on the right turns ON, the speed is too low.
Adjust so that both LED 1 and LED 2 light.
When both LED 1 and LED 2 light, press button 1 to end the printing speed adjustment.
Reverse the procedures you used to remove the Upper case unit to re-attach it to the printer.

Adjusting the Column Displacement for Bi-Directional Printing
This procedure adjusts the displacement (x shown in figure 1-5) between the center of the left-most dot when printing from
left to right and the center of the left-most dot when printing from right to left. This displacement must be no greater than
1/2 the horizontal distance between the center of neighboring dots (the pitch).

Print and check the size of the collumn displacement.

Remove the printer mechanism according to the procedure described in item 2 of chapter 2.
Loosen the timing detector board screw 1.
If the return printing is to the right of the going printing, move the timing detector 2 in direction of the black arrow
c. If the return printing is to the left of the going printing, move the timing detector 2 in direction of the white
arrow h.
Tighten the timing detector board screw 1.
Print and check the size of the column displacement. If it does not satisfy the requirement, repeat this procedure
from Step 2.
If you can not get the print column displacement adjusted correctly, use Adjustment B in item 4-2.
When Adjustment A is complete, install the printer mechanism on the main unit by reversing the procedure with
which you removed it.

relative the positions of the idler gear 4 and the motor gear 5 (the relation between the on the idler gear and
the on the motor gear) as Figure 1-7 shows.
The and marks were not always identical at the factory.
If the return printing starts at the position right to the going printing start position, turn the motor gear one tooth
clockwise. If the return printing starts at the position left to the going printing start position, turn the However, do
not make extreme changes to the gear setting.

Adjustment of Cam Position of Ribborn Color Change Mechanism

(for SP2360/SP2560)
This is an adjustment of the cam gear to obtain a normal printing track in black and red when carrying out maintenance
and servicing the ribbon color change mechanism.
1.
2.
3.
Rotate the speed reduction gear train in unticlockwise direction of the carriage motor till the clutch pawl wheel of
the RS clutch unit contacts with the trigger of the solenoid unit.
In the above condition, engage the cam gear and the clutch gear (R) of the RS clutch unit so that the circular cam
of the cam gear comes right below (or right adove).
In this condition, attach the ribbon base & ribbon base guide to the cam section of the cam gear and the frame, then
secure with a stop spring.
Note:
Apply grease on the cam surface and the hook sections of the ribbon base guide.

Maintenance
Carry out maintenance control items listed below to maintain the original performance of this printer and prevent trouble
from occurring.
1-1. Cleaning
(1)
(2)
Removal of dirt.
Clean the dirt with tissure or soft cloth.
Note:
Do not use thinners or trichlene/ketone base solvents for cleaning as they can damage plastic parts.
Be careful not to damage electrical parts, wired areas or mechanisms and avoid getting them wet.
Removal of dust, pile, etc.
Clean with a vacuum cleaner.
Note:
Check the amount of oil after cleaning and lubricate if necessary.
1-2. Checks
Maintenance checks for this printer is divided into the two areas of daily check that the person using the printer carries
out during normal use and regular check that can be done only by an experienced person with a knowledge of the
equipment.
(1) Daily check:
Check that the printer is being properly used.
Is the ribbon cassette set in the correct position?
Is the peper set correctly?
Is there any dirt or foreign object in the printer?
(2) Regular check:
Carry out regular check and lubrication after six months use or after printing 1 million lines.
Check for bending of springs.
Remove any dirt or dust in the area of the detectors.
Remove dirt around the drive shaft and lubricate.
Check the gap between the platen and the print head.

2.
Lubrication
Lubrication is extremely important for preserving the original performance of the printer over a long period of time.
2-1. Type of oil

The type of oil used has a major influence on the performance and durability of the printer.You should pay particular
attention to the cold temperature properties of the oil. We recommend use of the grease and lubrication oils listed below
for this printer.
