Printer Setup
TO LOAD TTR:

unwinds to the left of and beneath the roll.
3. Fully seat a cardboard take-up core on the associated TTR rewind mandrel.
4. Open the printhead (flip printhead cam lever counterclockwise on standard
printstations, clockwise on inverted printstations).
5. Advance the TTR around the outside of each station’s TTR guide roller(s).
6. Advance the TTR between the printhead and the platen roller.
7. On standard printstations, advance the TTR over the TTR guide spindle.
On inverted printstations, advance the TTR around the outside of the
station’s two guide spindles.
8. On standard printstations, advance the TTR beneath and around the
cardboard take-up core on the rewind mandrel. On inverted printstations,

Adjustment of the ribbon tension may be required after loading TTR. If the
TTR is wrinkling or smudging, adjust the tension to alleviate these conditions.
