To load Thermal Transfer Ribbon at each print station:

1Fully seat a roll of coated-side-in ribbon on the print station’s Supply Mandrel. You will feel resistance as the spring clip on the mandrel secures the roll. Ensure that the ribbon unwinds to the right and under the roll.

2Fully seat an empty cardboard takeup core on the associated Rewind Mandrel.

3Flip the Print Station Lift Lever lever counterclockwise to open the printhead.

4Thread the ribbon over the ribbon guide roller located closest to the Rewind Man- drel, then downward towards the print station.

5Thread the ribbon around the lower print station ribbon guide roller and under the print station.

6Continue to thread the ribbon up around the front edge of the printhead then between the ribbon guide roller at the front of the print station and the anti-static brush support shaft.

7Finally, wrap the ribbon up and over the empty takeup core. Secure the end of the ribbon with a small piece of adhesive tape.

8Turn the ribbon rewind knob clockwise to take up any slack in the ribbon.

9Flip the Print Station Lift Lever clockwise to close the printhead.

10Repeat this process to install ribbon on each of the print stations.
