Replacing the Ribbon
WARNING:
Ensure the printer is offline.
WARNING:
Replace ribbons with care to avoid cutting hands or fingers.
CAUTIONS:
(1) To ensure good quality print, always clean the print head and capstan
before fitting a new ribbon to the printer.
(2) When fitting a new ribbon, ensure loose ribbon is wound up on the
rewind spindle to create tension in the ribbon path. If this is not done,
the ribbon will not be fed correctly around the guides and rollers in the
web path. This will result in poor or no printing.
Setting the Ribbon Type
The ribbon type setting is used to set the optimum print parameters for each ribbon type. This
allows for faster set up, better print quality and sets the correct ribbon length.
Note: The default ribbon type is Custom, this allows the ribbon diameter and length to be
set manually.
