OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MODEL 776-E EMBOSSER/IMPRINTER
The Model 776-E is a hybrid between an electric seal embossing machine (raised imprinting on
document) and a validation stamp (Text, signature and sometimes date, number or time &date printed
through a single or multi-colored ribbon).
If your unit is equipped with date / or date and time.

TO ADJUST THE PRINTING PRESSURE - THROUGH THE RIBBON
- CAUTION -
ALWAYS UNPLUG THE UNIT FIRST.
Note: Imprint pressure is pre-set at
the factory. However, if a further
adjustment is needed, turn the
machine upside down and unscrew
the 4 rubber feet. Remove the
bottom aluminum cover, taking note
as to which way the double dimples
in the cover are facing. With a small
screwdriver, adjust the
potentiometer. In this case,
clockwise increases the impact and
counter clockwise decreases it. A
small turn may be all that is
necessary. DO NOT OVER
ROTATE. Replace bottom cover,
turn the unit upright, plug it in and
stamp it. Repeat if necessary.

TO SET THE DATE:
Insert case key in lock and rotate key
towards you. Lift up the top of the machine and
set the wheels by using a wooden stylus or pencil
to rotate the wheels in a downward direction;
setting each wheel to the month, date and year.
Note: Date units must be set on a daily basis.
TO SET THE NUMBER:
Proceed as above To open the lid –
rotate the wheels downward and always set the
number to 1 digit lower than the number that you
wish to print. For example: to print the number
000001, set the machine to 000000.
KEY SECURITY LOCK:
For added protection, many seal embossing machines are furnished with electric security
locks to prevent tampering. Since this device interrupts the power to the stamp when turned ”off”, it
must be in the “on” position to activate the stamp.

TO CHANGE THE RIBBON:
Lift ribbon feeler A and slide ribbon B off shaft C. Accomplish this on both the front rear
ribbon feelers. Replace with No. 1000 single or tri-color P,G,R ribbon.
Warning: Never attempt to re-ink ribbons, this will only clog the wheel and cause a failure of the
machines’ operations.
ADJUSTING PRESSURE
Although both impressions stamp
simultaneously, triggered by insertion of the
document, their stamping pressures can be
adjusted independently of each other.
ADJUSTING THE SEAL EMBOSSING
PRESSURE
- CAUTION -
Always lock the case cover before stamping.
Seal pressure is pre-set at the
factory. However, documents may vary in
thickness and paper quality. To decrease or
increase the stamping pressure, unplug the
unit, open the case and adjust the
potentiometer with a small screwdriver –
clockwise to decrease or counter clockwise
to increase the impact. A small turn may be
all that is necessary. DO NOT OVER
ROTATE. Plug unit in and re-stamp it.
Repeat if necessary.
