Note
REINER date stamps feature a lever mechanism to move the date forward day by day. This lever may also be used to adjust the setting of the wheels. Just press down the lever.

Preceding zeros → Fig. 2
Example: 49 instead of 000049

> Turn the stamp wheel D with stylus C to digit position “0”.
> Using stylus rotate and push down on stamp wheel through a half digit position until it sinks below print height.

Exceptions: Mod. B6, B6K, ND6K
Have no drop wheels. You may remove the zero from printing by turning the wheel “half way” to “1”.

> To do this move the stamp wheels D with the adjusting pin C to the empty spaces between “0” and “1”.

Note
Date stamps do not feature wheels that can retract.

REINER date stamps in general feature a lever to set the date. Just press the lever to turn the wheels.
