The ribbon fits easily in the printer. There is only one way to correctly
place the spools. Follow these steps to insert the ribbon:
NOTE: Wear lint free gloves during this procedure for best results.
1. Remove the old ribbon spools from the printer and dispose of them.
NOTE: Images remain on the ribbon after printing. If you are working with
confidential documents, you may want to secure and dispose of
the ribbon accordingly.
2. Clean the thermal head as described in the previous section.
3. Remove the new ribbon spools from the box.
The supply spool is longer than the take-up spool. For new ribbons,
the supply spool will be loaded with ribbon and the take-up spool will
be empty.
4. Push the left side of the take-up spool into the left side of the top spool
holder (the holders are spring-loaded).
5. Match the notches in the take-up spool with the notches on the right
spool holder.
6. Insert the right side of the take-up spool into the holder on the right.
