How do I change the ink roll on my check signer?
Inside the ink roll container you will find a pair of disposable plastic gloves. Open the cover of the signer. Remove the pin in the ink roll shaft. Then pull the shaft out of the old ink roll and then discard the old ink roll. Put the shaft in the new ink roll and install pin. Turn the red knob clockwise 4 or 5 full turns. While running paper through turn the red counter clockwise in ¼ increments until you see the imprint that you desire.
How often should I oil my shredder?
It depends on how you use your shredder. If you shred constantly then oil the machine every 15 minutes. Otherwise it is best to oil your shredder every time you change the shredding bag. For Strip-Cut models oil one to two times per bag and for Cross-Cut models, oil the shredder four to five times for every bag change.
We carry an excellent automatic oiler on several models that eliminates the need to oil yourself and will add years to the life of your shredder!
