Loading a Ribbon
Although this paragraph applies to the J330i only, the ribbon loading method applies to both
models.
Javelin i-series printers require the use of Javelin encoded i-series ribbons for full colour
printing. The resin thermal transfer and dye sublimination ribbons for J330i are specifically
designed for your J330i printer.
1
Place the printer power switch in the OFF (0) position.
2
Raise the printhead carriage by pressing the release latch to the left (toward the
output hopper) and lifting as shown below to about a 45° angle. The printhead
carriage will stay in that position.
Electrostatic discharge caution
: DO NOT TOUCH the printhead or the electronic
components on the printhead carriage. Discharges of electrostatic energy that
accumulate on the human body or other surfaces can damage the printhead or
other electronic components used in the printer.
Note:
Avoid any direct contact with the printhead to prevent transfer of oils or
contamination. Outside of normal operation, only the NBS - approved cleaning materials
should come in contact with the print head.
3
Locate the ribbon supply spindle and the ribbon take-up spindle (see above). Load
ribbon onto the supply spindle (under the printhead carriage) flange side in, and load
the empty core (with tape attached) onto the take-up spindle. Make sure the ribbon
comes off the top of the supply spindle and feeds to the top of the take-up spindle.
