5. Route the ribbon leader through the printer mechanism as shown in the
above illustration.
Note: Make sure the ribbon runs above the upper media guide. The shiny side of

ribbon core using the adhesive strip on the leader edge.
7. Wind the ribbon rewind hub clockwise until the ribbon runs smoothly
through the printhead mechanism and the leader moves past the printhead.
8. Rotate the head lift lever counterclockwise until it locks.
9. Enable thermal transfer printing by setting DIP switch 8 on the bottom bank
of switches to the on position. For help, see “Configuring the Serial Port for
Communications” in Chapter 1.
10. Press the Feed/Pause button to advance the ribbon through the printer.
11. Close the printer. The printer is now ready to print.
Note: When replacing the thermal transfer ribbon roll in the future, use the empty
ribbon supply core as the new rewinder core.
