Figure 20. Loading the Barcoded Ribbon
5. Place the full spool on the right hand side ribbon hub and press 
it into place.
IMPORTANT
The full spool has a barcode label on the bottom side and a 
date code label on the top. Once the sensor reads and logs the 
ribbon barcode, the Integrated Print Management System 
starts to track ribbon usage. A date code label is on the top 
side of the right hand spool.
If you remove the ribbon during the course of its life and want 
to re-install the same ribbon, be sure to place the same spools 
on the correct hubs.
