Loading Thermal Transfer Ribbon
If you plan to use thermal transfer mode, you must install a thermal transfer
ribbon (TTR) to print in thermal transfer mode.
Note: Save the packaging that your ribbon came in. Attached to the ribbon packaging
is a small label with a three-digit sensitivity number printed on it. You need this
information to set the correct media sensitivity number. Refer to the next section
“Setting the Media Sensitivity Number” for more information.
To load thermal transfer ribbon
1. Raise the printhead by rotating the head lift lever clockwise until the
printhead disengages.
2. Place the empty ribbon core that came with the printer onto the ribbon
rewind hub.
3. Detach the leader from the new thermal transfer ribbon roll and unwind the
end of the ribbon approximately 8 inches. The edge of the ribbon has a
leader (with an adhesive strip on the leader edge) for guiding the ribbon
through the printhead mechanism.
4. Slide the roll of thermal transfer ribbon onto the ribbon supply hub with the
ribbon roll winding clockwise.
