After installing the print paper, install the ink cassette into this unit.
Before installing the ink cassette into this unit, load the ink ribbon in the ink cassette.
It is recommended to clean the thermal head to keep good print quality when you replace the print paper and ink ribbon.
NOTE
•Place the ink cassette on a flat surface, when loading the ink ribbon.
