9.The tear bar should not be installed in the printer. If it is, gently lift the tab on the bar to get it over the protrusion on the door (reverse the procedure shown in Figure 7). Then, pull the bar out of the printer.
NOTE: When not in use, the tear bar may be stored on the inside of the media access door. Refer to Figure 9. With the lip of the bar facing the inside of the door, simply align the notches of the bar with the tabs on the door. Press and slide the bar toward the door’s hinged end.
If you’re using direct thermal media, continue on with step 10. However, if you’re using thermal transfer media, you must also install a ribbon cartridge. Proceed to “Loading the Ribbon” in this chapter.
