Refer to Figure 4 throughout this procedure.

Note: When placing the ribbon roll on the ribbon supply spindle, make sure that the core is pushed up against the stop on the ribbon supply spindle and that the ribbon is aligned squarely with its core. If this is not done, the ribbon may not cover the inside edge of the printhead, exposing print elements to potentially damaging contact with the media.

Do not load ribbon if the printer is to be used in the direct thermal mode.

1.Align the segments of the ribbon supply spindle. See Figure 2.

2.Place the ribbon roll on the ribbon supply spindle.

3.Open the printhead by moving the handle to the OPEN position.

4.Important...To make ribbon loading and unloading easier, make a leader for your ribbon roll if it doesn’t already have one (refer to Figure 3). Tear off a strip of media (labels and backing) about 6" - 12" long from the roll. Peel off a label from this strip and remove the remaining labels. Apply half of this label to the end of the strip and the other half to the end of the ribbon. This acts as a ribbon leader.

5.Thread the leader and attached ribbon as shown in Figure 4. Be careful not to crease or wrinkle the ribbon.

6.Place the leader around the ribbon take-up spindle and wind counterclockwise for several turns.

7.Close the printhead by moving the lever to the CLOSED position.
