Brady 76800 manual Adjusting the ribbon cartridge

Adjusting the ribbon cartridge

If a ribbon cartridge has been stored outside the printer, the ribbon between the take-up spool and the wiper may have been exposed to dust. The dust on the ribbon may transfer to the print head causing streaks or scratches on your labels.

When a ribbon cartridge has been stored outside the printer, before installing it, you should first advance the ribbon approximately 2 inches (or 250 millimeters) counterclockwise, as shown in Figure 2-4.

This will prevent any dust that may have accumulated on the ribbon from transferring to the print head and affecting how your labels print.
