4. Set the ribbon in the printer
* Paying attention to the ribbon surface for front & back, set the supply and uptake ribbon reels as
shown below.
* Remove any ribbon slack by turning the ribbon uptake side in the direction of the arrow approx. 5
times.
5. Close the front cover.
* When the front cover is closed, the
paper initialization process will be carried out
except in the case when the printer is
turned on after paper setting
(in that case, paper initialization is not carried out).
* There is a IC tag implemented in the ribbon and a detector in the printer for performing color
offset of media lot, detecting of media type and managing of print counter, to be communicated
between host computer (PC).
If any other media with no IC tag or a different tag is set, normal print process may not be
possible. For details, please contact your supplier.
Ribbon winding direction
During the paper initialization process, outside of roll paper with dust or finger prints is
removed by outputting 4 sheets of non printed paper.
The front side of the printer front
is for ribbon supply, and the back
side is for ribbon uptake.

Please set the reels as
shown by color.
If different types of media like 2L-Size and Post Card or others are used in the same printer,
quality problems in the printed image will arise.
So as a rule, please do not use different types of media in the same printer.
But if for some reason different types of media must be used, first turn the printer off, take out
the old media, and turn the printer on again before setting the new media.
* This way, when the front cover is closed, the paper initialization process will be carried out,
unless the printer is turned on after setting of the new media, in which case initialization
won’t take place.
