Abstract (en)
A print wheel selection mechanism (140) is placed in its select position, and is moved into abutment with a stop (180) a plurality of times. The selection mechanism is then aligned, and oriented with a predetermined one of the print wheels. The print wheel is rotated into abutment with a stop a plurality of times, aligned and exercised to set it at a predetermined position. The moving, aligning, orienting, and exercising steps are continued sequentially with each print wheel to set all the print wheels to a predetermined position and a signal is produced when the foregoing steps have all been accomplished.
