Loading Ribbon Cartridge
The printer requires approved ribbon cartridges (see appendix C). The resin thermal
transfer and dye sublimation ribbons are specifically designed for your printer.
Note:
i series printers require the use of i series ribbons for full colour printing.
Each ribbon cartridge includes an integrated adhesive cleaning roller assembly that is
used to clean the cards entering the printer. Improper cleaning will reduce printer life
and degrade print quality.
When the ribbon is completely used, change the whole cartridge assembly.
