Loading print ribbon
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.
