5. Attach the ribbon to the Ribbon Take-Up Hub then proceed according to printer type –
• Non-Display Models: Simultaneously press PAUSE and FEED.
• Display-Equipped Models: Select a quantity of Ribbon Test Labels.
6. Begin printing. Observe the ribbon for rippling and bagging as it travels from the
Printhead Assembly to the Ribbon Take-Up Hub. If smooth and the printed images show
no evidence of ribbon wrinkling, proceed to Step 7; otherwise, slightly loosen the Ribbon
Shield Adjustment Screws then move either side of the Ribbon Shield forward or back
until the ribbon is smooth and the printed images are free of voids. Carefully tighten the
Ribbon Shield Adjustment Screws. Print several labels to verify the adjustment and
repeat if necessary.
7. Install operating media and ribbon. Set the Media Width Adjustment (see Section 2.3).
Send your label format to the printer and examine the printed labels; readjust the
Ribbon Shield slightly, if needed.
