New, old, machine, learning it as we go...

Not ours in the video, just a promo. Ours has a label printer thats been problematic, so not sure if its mechanical or settings or electronics. It runs a bit then stalls, motor running but it can't overcome some friction somewhere.(thats how it seeks to me)
A motor drives the ribbon reel at the bottom, the reel at the top is free running.
There's loads of settings all accessible by this simple 5 button pad, took ages to navigate my way through it all, frequently getting lost.
Photo below....The green discs on the upper and lower rollers are clutches. The free running roller one had a higher setting than the bottom drive one so the drive couldn't overcome the top, hence frequent stalls/ jams.
No idea how, someone has struggled with it. Tomorrow will tell us if we are going to struggle too...or whether I fixed it by making the drive clutch stronger than the driven one.
