To load ribbon, refer to Figure 24 and follow the procedure below.

NOTE: Use ribbon that is at least as wide as the media. The smooth backing of the ribbon protects the printhead from wear and premature failure due to excessive abrasion. (For direct thermal print mode, ribbon is not used and should not be loaded in the printer.)

1.Align the segments of the ribbon supply spindle as shown in Figure 22.

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

Figure 22

NOTE: 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 printhead entirely on the inside, exposing print elements to potentially damaging contact with the media.

3.Open the printhead.

4.To make ribbon loading and unloading easier, make a leader for your ribbon roll (see Figure 23).

5.Tear off a strip of media (labels

and backing) about 6"-12"

(152 mm-305 mm) long from the roll. Peel off a label from this strip. 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.

6. Thread the ribbon (with leader) as

shown without creasing or

wrinkling it.

 

7.Place the ribbon (with leader) around the ribbon take-up spindle and wind counterclockwise for several turns (see Figure 24).
