Notes
•If it is difficult to insert the ribbon cartridge, remove it and try inserting it again. Reduce the ribbon slack by turning the cartridge spool in the direction of the arrow only if the ribbon cartridge cannot be inserted due to slack in the ribbon.
•Do not rewind the ribbon cartridge for reuse in printing. Printing will not be performed properly, and it may cause a malfunction to occur.
•Do not try to replace the ribbon cartridge while printing is in progress.
•Immediately after printing, the thermal head inside the unit will be hot. When loading a cartridge, do not insert your hand into the ribbon cartridge access opening, to prevent the risk of burns.
