Before Printing
This section describes the operations that must be performed prior to starting printing. This explanation assumes that the printer has already been installed and that all connections have been made.
•Loading an ink ribbon cassette (on this page)
•Loading the paper (page 10)
Once these operations have been completed, there should be no need to perform them again during routine printing.
Notes
•When replacing the ink ribbon or paper, do not turn off the power. Turning off the power will cause the image stored in the memory to be lost.
•Use the ink ribbon suitable for the type of print material. Before attempting to load an ink ribbon, make sure that the combination of the ribbon and paper is compatible. (See “Ink Ribbon and paper” on page 19.)
•Use only ink ribbon and paper designed for use with this printer. Failing to do so is likely to result in unsatisfactory printing or malfunctions. (See “Ink Ribbon and paper” on page 19.)
Loading an Ink Ribbon Cassette
Load the ink ribbon to the supplied ink ribbon holder, and load the ink ribbon cassette (referring to the ink ribbon holder loaded with the ink ribbon) to the printer’s ribbon compartment.
Notes
•When you use the printer at the first time, the thermal head was locked at the factory. Turn on the printer first to unlock the thermal head, then start to load an ink ribbon cassette.
•Once an ink ribbon has been completely used, replace it. Ink ribbons are not reusable.
•Do not rewind the ink ribbon for reuse.
•Do not touch the ink ribbon or place it in a dusty location. Finger prints or dust on ink ribbon will result in imperfect printing.
2 Remove the ink ribbon cassette by pressing the EJECT button.
The ink ribbon cassette pops out.
Note
Never put your hand into the ink ribbon compartment. The thermal head becomes very hot. You may burn yourself if you touch it.
3 Detach the used ink ribbon from the ink ribbon holder.
