2.4 LOADING THE CARBON RIBBON (FOR LD610 T ONLY)

The LD610 T printer enables two types of printing, 

Thermal transfer

 and 

Direct thermal

Thermal transfer

paper media requires the use of carbon ribbon for print application. In such a scenario, it is the carbon ribbon
that contains the ink that will be transferred to the media. 

Direct thermal

 paper media has a coating on the

surface that is made visible through the application of heat from the print head. In this case, there is no need
of loading the carbon ribbon.

1.

With the power supply off, pull the 

cover open/close 

latches

 on both sides of the printer toward you to unlock 

the top cover, and then open the top cover. 

Note:

Make sure that the cover rests firmly so that it will not fall 
forward and injure your hands.

2.

Pull the 

lever

 on the middle of the 

ribbon unit

 

downward to pull out the 

ribbon unit

Then simply let down the 

ribbon unit

. There is a stopper 

midway through its movement range that will prevent the 
ribbon unit from snapping down.
