D. INKING SYSTEM
Your Continuous Form Signer is equipped with an ink roll that will sign up to

Knob
The ink roll
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.

of documents is processed in the current account selected, or when a new
account is selected.
