eliminate printstripes. The higher
friction properties of the TM1 B/C TSI Thermal
Monosheet

film material, could make it necessary Clear base
to change the input rollers by new Thermal
Silica
ones. 536110tb.cdr

3 Modification of the film feeding unit

Modification 1) With a small (2 mm) flat head
screwdriver bend 3 of the locks
of the starlocks open.
2) Remove the star lock. Refer to
note below.
3) Pull off the plastic gear.
4) Push the metal gear on M4 and
push the star lock on the shaft.
Use e.g. a 10 mm nut to push
the starlock onto the shaft.
5) With a small flathead
screwdriver remove the two C-

7) Put the C-clips back.
Figure 4

When removing the starlock take care not to scratch the motor shaft. The
diameter of the gear is only a little bit larger than the diameter of the gear.
Scratches prevent that the gear can be removed!
In case the shaft gets scratched during removal of the starlock, use fine sand
paper to remove the scratches.
