Loading the Ribbon
Warnings:
(1) Load ribbon only when using the thermal transfer printing method. Remove any ribbon that may be loaded when
using the direct thermal printing method.
(2) When using a ribbon roll with a width less than 110 mm, please place the ribbon roll in the middle of the Ribbon
Spindle corresponding to the symmetry symbol (→|←).
(3) Make sure the ink side of the ribbon faces outwards. Always make sure the ink side of the ribbon faces the media
and not the printhead.
To install the ribbon:
1. Lift the top cover and push down the Printhead Release Lever to release the Printhead Module (see Figure 5-1).
2. Lift the Printhead Module to expose the Ribbon Supply Spindle (see Figure 5-2).
3. Unwrap the ribbon pack and separate the ribbon roll and the core.
4. Slide the ribbon onto one of the Ribbon Spindles and place the core onto the other spindle (see Figure 5-3).
5. Load the Ribbon Spindle into the printer and route the ribbon through the Printhead Module (see Figure 5-4).
6. Wrap the end of the ribbon around the core (see Figure 5-5).
7. Load the core into the Ribbon Take-Up area (see Figure 5-6).
8. Turn the left Guide Wheel to ensure the ribbon is tight and smooth.
9. Close the Printhead Module and press down until it locks into place.
