Loading Ribbon
The following steps only apply to thermal transfer printing mode only.
Direct thermal does not need ribbon to be installed.
Note :
1. Media and ribbon types should be matched to provide with
optimal print results.
2. Always use ribbon that is wider than the media to protect the
print head from wear.
3. For direct thermal printing, do not load ribbon in the printer.
Preparing Ribbon
Find the two Ribbon Core Adaptors in printer package and fix them into
the empty core for ribbon and new ribbon supply roll, from the left to the
right.
