Loading the Ribbon
Direct Thermal Media does not require the installation of a ribbon. Skip to the Loading Media
section.
Thermal Transfer media requires an installed ribbon. Follow the below instructions for ribbon
installation. Note: The media and the ribbon must be compatible. Also the print head
temperature setting may need to be adjusted (see emulation commands for heat adjustments).
1. Open the Top Media Access Cover by pressing in on both Cover locks (one on each side
of the printer) and lifting the top cover until it rests in the vertical position.
2. Press down on the two Print Head Latches (labeled PUSH) to unlock the print head
