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.
