4.2. Handling of Ribbon (Foil)
4.2.1. Ribbon Loading
If you want to operate the printer in the thermal transfer mode a
printer ribbon has to be used (compare section 1.1).
Make sure you always use a printer ribbon being wider than the
media to print on. In the case of printing on abrasive media
printhead damaging can be avoided this way.
To set the ribbon go on like this:
1.
Switch the printer to OFF LINE mode.
2.
Open the printer hood completely.
3.
Push the printhead release lever clockwise to open the print
head mechanism.
