4. Remove both used film spools from the cartridge (if present).
5. Load the new roll of retransfer film on the cartridge:
a. Put the full roll of film on the green supply spindle.
b. Align the retransfer film along the three film guides, as shown on the
cartridge diagram.
c. Put the empty take-up spool on the black take-up spindle and wind two
frames of film onto the take-up spool.
d. Turn the take-up knob on the underside of the cartridge to remove any
slack. Gently pull out the take-up knob so it turns smoothly.
If slack cannot be removed, check that the supply and take-up spools
are firmly seated on the spindles. To insert the cartridge into the printer,
the film must be tight along the film guides. Use the supply and take-up
knobs to maintain the proper tension.
6. Insert the loaded cartridge in the printer until it clicks into position.
7. Close the print unit door.
8. On the print unit front panel, press
Reset
and then
