LOADING RIBBON (CT4XXTT only)

The SATO CT Series ribbons come shrink-wrapped with a 12" (305 mm)leader pre-attached to a takeup core. There are three widths of ribbon available for the CT Series printers; 4.3" (110 mm), 3" (76 mm) and 1.75" (45 mm).

2.Open the Top Cover by by pressing on cover the release points located on each side of the printer. This releases the cover latch and allows it to swing upward on the rear mounted hinge points.
