Matrix pin printer with adjustable print pin guide

A control method for positioning pins of a matrix pin print head for disposal opposite to a print counter support and said print head having a center axis comprising the steps:

• disposing a print pin guide device group toward a print counter support;
• connecting the print pin guide device group to a print pin drive device group where the print pin guide device group includes an adjustable print pin guide 2, print pins associated with a print direction, where the center axis of the print head is running in the print direction of the print pins;
• guiding the print pins in a casing;
• guiding a magnet core disposed in the area of the print pin guide device group in a guide for moving the magnet core;
• setting a set screw at a distance relative to the magnet core, where an electric lifting magnet has a coil center axis and is coordinated to the set screw for the magnet core and is disposed in the area of the print pin guide device group perpendicular to the center axis of the matrix print head for adjusting a magnetic discontinuity air gap, wherein the magnet core together with a parallel adjustable pin guide carrier forms an adjustable magnetic discontinuity air gap within the electric lifting magnet and whereby the pin guide carrier is movable back and forth between two fixedly adjustable positions and wherein the magnet core is connected to the pin guide carrier so that the pin guide carrier and print pin guide move along a linear path between the two fixedly adjustable positions.
