Load the Print Ribbon
Load the ribbon when you install the printer and when the ribbon runs out. 
1.  Open the printer cover. 
2.  Remove the print ribbon cartridge. 
3.  Load a full roll of print ribbon (the blue spool) onto 
the spindle closest to the cartridge handle until it 
clicks into place. 
4.  Place the silver take-up spool on the spindle with 
the black gear until it clicks into place. 
5.  Wind the take-up spool counterclockwise one full 
turn. 
Load the Cleaning Sleeve
The cleaning sleeve removes debris from the card 
before printing begins. It fits on a spindle that mounts 
on the print ribbon cartridge. The printer ships with the 
cleaning roller spindle in the accessory box. 
1.  Locate the cleaning roller spindle and slide the 
spindle into the cleaning sleeve (a). 
2.  Place the spindle with cleaning sleeve onto the 
ribbon cartridge (b). 
3.  Remove the protective wrapper from the cleaning 
sleeve (c). 
Load a new cleaning sleeve with each new roll of print ribbon, if you notice debris 
on the printed cards, or if the cleaning sleeve is no longer sticky.
