Tips: Handling print ribbon

Keep unused ribbon in the original package.

Don’t place ribbon on a dusty or dirty surface–dirt could damage the printhead.

4 Run a cleaning card and replace the cleaning sleeve at the same time that you load a new print ribbon. See “Cleaning the printer” on page 17 for the steps to follow.

5 Load the new roll of print ribbon on the cartridge.

• Put the full spool of ribbon on the supply spindle of the ribbon cartridge. Push until the spool clicks onto the spindle.

• Put the empty take-up spool on the spindle with the solid black gear. Push until the spool clicks onto the spindle.
