Using inferior ribbons would be like using poor quality fuel in your
automobile. Premature engine failure and poor performance leading up to
the failure would be the best you could expect.
Other useful features available only with the use of Printek brand ribbons
are that the printer will not allow printing if a ribbon is not installed, and the
printer will alert the operator when a ribbon needs to be changed.
Ribbon Installation
1. Open the ribbon lid on top of the printer and position the print head
for ribbon loading by lifting the ribbon loading handle as indicated in
the following picture.
