2.4 Installing the Print Ribbon Cartridge
FARGO Direct-to-Card Printers require highly specialized supplies to function properly.
The FARGO DTC5500LMX Card Printer uses a one piece, disposable ribbon cartridge system.
To maximize printer durability, reliability and printed card quality, you must use only FARGO-certified
supplies.
Your FARGO warranty is void, where not prohibited by law, if you use supplies other than FARGO-
certified supplies.
Printer cleaning is recommended with each ribbon change to ensure quality printed cards.
Resin-only print ribbons consist of a continuous roll of a single resin color. No protective overlay panel
(O) is provided because resin images do not require the protection of an overlay.
To Install the Print Ribbon Cartridge:
1. Pull open the front assembly.
2. Insert the print ribbon cartridge into the printer.
3. Close the front cover.
