Setting method
1. Check the kind of ribbon used and set the ribbon winding
direction using menu setup mode or operation panel. This
is the method for installing an outside wound ribbon (also
known as “ink out”).
Remember, the inked surface should be facing AWAY from
the printhead surface!
2. Place the attached ribbon and paper core separately on one
of the two attached ribbon holders. Insert the two ribbon
holders into the ribbon and paper cores ensuring that they
are pushed in all the way.
