Press the retransfer film
cartridge eject button to
remove the green cartridge.
3
Remove both used film spools
from the cartridge (if present).

Load the new roll of retransfer
film on the cartridge:

the green supply spindle
as shown.

spindle.

Align the retransfer film
along the three film guides.

Tips: Handling retransfer film
•
Place the cartridge on a
smooth level surface when
loading or reloading.
• Do not touch the printing
surface of the retransfer
film. (Oils on hands will
reduce printing quality.)
• After powering on the
printer, the retransfer film
must be initialized. See
“Initialize the retransfer
film” on page 17
for more
information.
• Keep unused film in the
original package.
•
Don't place film on a dusty
or dirty surface — dirt can
affect print quality.
•
When the retransfer film
has run out, “Media Run
Out” appears on the LCD
panel. After replacing it,
press the RESET key and
then the ENTER key to
initialize the film.
•
See
“Retransfer film” on
page 68

film.
