Ribbon Loading

To load ribbon, refer to Figures 6 and 7 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.
