Open cover by pulling both green cover release tabs straight 
towards you, then lift up on the ribbon access cover to open.
Remove outer plastic bag from the ribbon, and unstick the 
white ribbon ‘leader’ or ‘tail’ from the roll. 

(For new rolls)

With the ribbon leader hanging from behind/under the roll, 
insert the ribbon right-side first onto the ribbon supply hub. 

(a)

Insert the left side of the ribbon onto the other hub and rotate 
the ribbon until you feel the notches on the cardboard core 
lock into the hub spokes.
Insert an empty cardboard core into the ribbon rewind hub, then 
take the hanging ribbon up and over the print head and stick the 
ribbon to the core with scotch tape or the leader adhesive. 

(b)

With your finger, turn the green ribbon rewind gear until the 
leader is wound around the core, and the ribbon is exposed 
and fully covers the print head.
Close the ribbon access cover, push the green cover support 
to the left to disengage and close the top cover gently.
