1. Open the top cover by pushing down on it and operating the release catch on the top of the printer.
2. Remove the used dye-film by gently pulling both spools upwards until disengaged from the clips. Take care not to bend and
break the clips.
3. Open a new roll of dye-film.
4. Place the loaded spool into the rear clips and press it into place. The orientation is
correct when the barcode on the end of the spool is on the left. Rotate the dye film roll
to allow the core to lock into position.
5. Place the empty take up spool into the front clips, and adjust the film tension so that
the film is lying flat and straight between the two spools.
6. Gently close the top cover until it clicks into the closed position. The printer will
automatically recognize the type of film that has been loaded and move it to the
correct printing position.

4. Loading the Dye-Film Ribbon
AV1 dye-film is the appropriate choice for colour printing
LC1 dye-film can also be used for colour printing.
LC8 dye-film, for the Tango 2 models only, is more economic when printing in colour on one side and
black on the other.
LC6/LC3 dye-film - where cost is critical, monochrome printing is a fraction of the cost of colour printing.
