CAUTION: 
Be sure the machine is disconnected 
from the wall outlet when setting 
typewheels.
SETTING
The stamp has a typehead with 6 or more 
typewheels which print information such as 
year, month, date, etc. It is necessary to set each 
typewheel prior to using your new machine.
Open Cover
• Insert key.
• Turn key clockwise and tilt cover upward.
Open Typehead
•  Push down on the 2 lock levers, at the same 
time pull up on the typehead (See Figure 2).
Setting Typewheels
•  Set the typewheels by pushing the Ratchet 
on the side of the typewheel down (See 
Figure 4). Make sure the typewheel seats  
correctly; you will hear a distinct click when 
the typewheel seats.
Model Notes:
Time/Date Stamps (ET and ETC) – After  
setting, the machine will keep the time and 
date automatically. The month typewheel 
must be manually changed and the date  
reset each month.  The year typewheel must 
be manually changed each year.
Date Stamps (ED) – The date typewheels 
must be set each day.
Numbering Machines (EN, END, EDN) – The 
first 6 typewheels advance automatically after 
each punch. Any additional wheels (including 
date) must be manually changed.
