H. INKING SYSTEM
Your Continuous Form Signer is equipped with an ink roll that will sign up to
150,000 signatures, depending upon age and usage. The ink roll is located inside
the top cover.
CAUTION: Do Not touch ink roll.
1. INK ROLL PRESSURE
The ink roll must not place too much pressure on the signature plates.
Adjust the ink roll to just "kiss" the signature plates but with enough
pressure for a good printed impression. Ink roll pressure is adjusted by
turning the RED adjustment knob located at the rear of the form signer
(See Figure 9). Turning this knob to the right DECREASES ink roll
pressure - a lighter signature imprint. Turning the knob to the left
INCREASES ink roll pressure - a darker signature imprint.
