Adding a New Transfer Ribbon

If ribbon runs out in the middle of a print job, the indicator lights orange and the printer waits for you to add a fresh roll. Keep the power on as you change ribbon. Open the top cover, then cut the used ribbon so you can remove the cores. Load a new ribbon roll (refer to the previ- ous procedure if necessary). Close the top cover. Press the Feed button to restart printing.

Roll Out

To remove used transfer ribbon, cut the ribbon from the take-up roll. Remove the take-up roll and discard used ribbon. Remove the supply roll and tape the end of any fresh ribbon to pre- vent it from unwrapping. When reinstalling a partially used supply roll, tape the cut end onto the empty take-up roll.
