5
Install the ribbon in the ribbon
supply area and pass the front
end of the ribbon through the
printer as shown in the
illustration.
Install the ribbon roll in the ribbon supply
area in the same way as described in step 4
for the ribbon spindle.
Be sure to pass the ribbon between the label
retaining roller and the thermal head.
6
Remove the leading tape from
the end of the ribbon and attach
it to the ribbon spindle.
Attach the leading tape to the ribbon spindle,
aligning it with the guide line on the spindle.
The ribbon spindle should match the width
of the ribbon.
7
Rotate the ribbon spindle
clockwise, winding the ribbon
until the carbon side comes to
the front.
8
Lock the arm unit.
Lower the arm unit. Then press where it
says "PUSH” on either side to lock the arm
unit.
If the arm unit does not lock the first time,
press “PUSH" again to lock it.
Pass the ribbon
between the label
retaining roller and
the thermal head.
Wind the ribbon so
that it is taut. A slack
ribbon may cause a
printing failure.
Wind the thermal
transfer ribbon until
the carbon side
comes to the front.
Make sure the ribbon
advances sufficiently.
If any printed
characters or
graphics apply to the
leading tape, it may
cause the tape to
“dissolve” and adhere
to the thermal head.
This will inhibit
accurate printing.
