An off-set adjusting nut for use with a bolt permits adjusting at least one characteristic of mechanically connected members. The bolt has a head and a shank extending therefrom, at least a portion of the shank being threaded for engagement with the adjusting nut. The adjusting nut includes a body defining a nut axis therethrough. The body further defines an upper surface and a lower portion. A round flange is formed integral with the body at the lower portion. The flange is formed on the body collinear with the nut axis. An eccentric bore is formed in the body extending from the upper surface to the lower portion and through the flange. The bore has a thread formed therein for engaging the bolt shank thread. The bore is formed off-set in the nut body and defines a bore axis that is parallel to and spaced from the nut axis.

The motion detection system of claim 6, wherein the absence of a magnetic flux change for a predetermined period of time generates a ribbon non-motion fault signal. 11. The motion detection system of claim 6, wherein the absence of a magnetic flux change for a predetermined period of time generates a no ribbon installed signal. 12. The motion detection system of claim 6, wherein said detector member generates signals that are relative to the speed of movement of said ribbon. 13. The motion detection system of claim 12, wherein said rotator member produces magnetic flux changes at a rate of at least two changes per second. 14. The motion detection system of claim 6, further comprising a printer logic member, said printer logic member receiving digitized signals from said detector. 15. The motion detection system of claim 1, wherein the rotation of said rotator member generates a specific sequence of data in relation to the dimensions of each of said at least one radially positioned members. 16. The motion detection system of claim 15, wherein the absence of a specific sequence of data generates a ribbon fault signal that signifies the presence of an incorrect print ribbon. 17. The motion detection system of claim 15, wherein the absence of a specific sequence of data generates a ribbon fault signal that signifies the absence of print ribbon. 18. The motion detection system of claim 15, wherein said at least one radially positioned member is a plurality of radially positioned members having at least two different shapes, thereby generating at least two different signals. 19. The motion detection system of claim 3, wherein each of said at least one radially positioned member is a spoke. 20. The motion detection system of claim 5, wherein each of said radially positioned member is a spoke. 21. The motion detection system of claim 19, wherein said rotator member contains an even number of spokes. 22. The motion detection system of claim 15, wherein said detector member generates signals that are relative to the width of each said at least one radially positioned member. 23. The motion detection system of claim 15, wherein said detector member generates signals that are relative to the shape of each of said at least one radially positioned member. 24. The motion detection system of claim 21, wherein said rotator member contains at least four spokes, each of said spokes extending in a non-uniform pattern, wherein said non-uniform pattern represents a printer ribbon identification code. 25. The motion detection system of claim 19, wherein said spokes of said rotator member rotate with the motion of a print ribbon mounted within a print ribbon cartridge, said spoke being mounted for rotation in close proximity to said magnet and said detector member, said detector member being a Hall Effect sensor, and said magnet being positioned a predetermined distance from said detector member, wherein, as said spokes rotate in position over said detector member, the magnetic flux between said magnet and said detector member is altered by the presence and absence of said spokes, thereby creating a magnetic field change detectable by said Hall Effect sensor. 26. A magnetic detection system comprising, a magnet, a rotator member, said rotator member having at least one radially positioned member, said at least one radially positioned member being characterized by altering a magnetic field when it moves into and out of proximity to said magnet, and a detector member, said detector member being a Hall Effect sensor, wherein, said rotator member is mounted for rotation from at least a first position to at least a second position, in said first position said at least one radially positioned member magnetically bridges said magnet and said detector member such that said magnetic field has a first magnetic field strength, and in said second position said at least one radially positi
