Chapter 4 Media (Paper) and Ribbon

4.4 Loading the ribbon

We recommend that you should use a genuine Citizen ribbon or its equivalent.

The ribbon (with paper core) is loaded into the printer using the two ribbon bobbins supplied. The ribbon passes from the source ribbon core (unused) to the destination core of used ribbon.

1.Open the front cover by pulling the right hand side of the cover towards you.

2.Open the right side cover (viewed from the front), holding the curved grip on the lower right of the cover. The cover should be opened all the way until it stops at the hinges.

CAUTION

Do not release the cover midway. Premature release may cause the cover to slam shut, leading to injury.

3.Turn the blue printhead lever clockwise to lift the printhead block. At this time, the paper guide roller should be kept closed.

The ribbon now can be loaded.
