2.2.4 Loading The Ribbon
When printing by thermal transfer, the ribbon must be loaded as follows, after opening the label
loading area and studying the figure on the inner side of the cover (see Fig. 10 on page 19):
- Move the print head lock lever (11) to the open position (14) (see Fig. 11 on page 20).
- Insert the ribbon roll in the new ribbon unwinder (2).
- Insert an empty cardboard core in the printed ribbon rewinder (1).
- Then feed the free end of the ribbon under the first and second media rollers, under the print
head, and then onto the cardboard core installed on the printed ribbon rewinder (1), taking care
not to block the paper sensor.
- Manually wind the free end of the ribbon onto the printed ribbon rewinder (1) and manually turn
it until the ribbon is taut and straight.
- Move the print head lock lever (11) to the closed position (13) as shown in Fig. 17.
