Chapter 2 — Installing the Printer
6Close the print carriage by pressing firmly down on both sides. A loud click indicates the print carriage locked into place.
7Firmly close the printer’s top cover.
8Tap the Feed button until the status LED glows green.
When you switch between direct thermal and thermal transfer printing, or when you switch between different types of transfer ribbon, you can remove a partially used transfer ribbon and save it for later use.
To remove a partially used ribbon
1Press the cover open buttons on both sides of the case to open the top cover. Fold the cover upwards/rearwards.
2Press the green release tabs at the bottom of the top cover on both sides of the printhead and lift the print carriage halfway up while keeping the top cover fully opened.
3Using a pair of scissors, cut the transfer ribbon just below the rewind roll.
4Rewind the unused ribbon onto the supply spool. Remove the roll by pushing it to the left until the right end disengages then lift the roll up. Fasten the loose end with a piece of tape or label to prevent the roll from unwrapping.
