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 (Intermec ribbon only). You need this information to set the
correct media sensitivity number. Refer to the next section “Setting the
Media Sensitivity Number” for more information.

The core of your thermal transfer ribbon is either made of cardboard or
plastic. You need to use the correct core-locking brackets for your ribbon
core. The printer ships from the factory with the cardboard core-locking
brackets already attached.

Note: If you do not use the correct core-locking brackets, you may
experience printing problems or possible damage to the printer.

To change the cardboard core-locking brackets to plastic core-locking brackets

1

Pull up on the middle of the cardboard core-locking bracket (P/N
065375), while pushing down on one end with your index finger, until
the end of the bracket is free of the ribbon hub.
