NOTES:

1.Be sure to remove any slack in the ribbon when printing. Printing with a wrinkled ribbon will lower the print quality.

2.The Ribbon Sensor is mounted on the rear of the Print Head Block to detect a ribbon end. When a ribbon end is detected, “NO RIBBON” message will appear on the display and the ERROR LED will illuminate.

3.Slide the Ribbon Stoppers along the Ribbon Shafts to a position where the ribbon is centred when fitted.

4.Lower the Print Head Block and set the Ribbon Shaft Holder Plate aligning its holes with the Ribbon Shafts.

5.Take up any slack in the ribbon. Wind the leading tape onto the ribbon take-up roll until the ink ribbon can be seen from the front of the printer.
