Ribbon Load
Thermal transfer ribbons are required when printing on non heat-sensi-
tive media. The type of transfer ribbon should match the face materials,
so as to obtain the best durability and printout quality.
Loading a Fresh Ribbon Roll
1 Open the printer's top cover by pressing the release buttons on both
sides and folding the cover upwards/rearwards.
2 Press the green release tabs at the bottom of the top cover on both
sides of the printhead and fold down the print carriage halfway (45°
angle) while keeping the top cover fully opened.
3 Remove front core with the used-up ribbon and the empty core at the
rear. Keep the empty core!
4 Unpack a fresh roll of transfer ribbon and route the ribbon leader
down in front of the wall, that separates the print carriage from the
media compartment, so the ribbon will feed from the top of the roll
with the ink-covered side facing rearwards.
5 Install the ribbon roll in the rear position by placing one end over the
left-side hub and pushing to the left. Then align the right end with the
right-side hub and engage.
