2-6 Installing supplies
Adjusting the ribbon cartridge
If a ribbon cartridge has been stored outside the printer, the ribbon between the
take-up spool and the wiper may have been exposed to dust. The dust on the ribbon
may transfer to the print head causing streaks or scratches on your labels.
When a ribbon cartridge has been stored outside the printer, before installing it, you
should first advance the ribbon approximately 2 inches (or 250 millimeters)
counterclockwise, as shown in Figure 2-4.

This will prevent any dust that may have accumulated on the ribbon from
transferring to the print head and affecting how your labels print.
