Setting method

1.Check the kind of ribbon used and set the ribbon winding selection switch. This is the method for installing an outside wound ribbon.

This switch allows selection of inside-wound ribbons (also known as "ink in") and outside wound ribbons ("ink out"). Remember, the inked surface should be facing AWAY from the printhead surface!
