Explanation
(1) If wrinkles occur on the ribbon, they can be prevented by adjusting the ribbon
motor drive voltage by this command.
(2) -1 step corresponds to -5% of the standard drive voltage.
(3) The ribbon motor drive voltage fine adjustment value is protected in memory (even
if the power is turned off).
(4) If the ribbon motor drive voltage fine adjustment value has been set in the system
mode (key operation on the printer), the fine adjustment value will be the sum of
the system mode and the ribbon rewind motor adjustments or the system mode
and the ribbon back tension motor adjustments. The max. fine adjustment values
are as shown below.

(5) When RAM clear is performed, the fine adjustment values for both fine adjust
commands (rewind/back tension) and the system mode are 00.
(6) The fine adjustment values for both fine adjust commands (rewind/back tension)
and the system mode are 00 at the time of shipment from the factory.
