Dismantling The Ribbon - Brady BradyPrinter M611 User Manual

Dismantling the Ribbon

To dismantle the ribbon:
1. Using your thumbnail, press the clear plastic locking tab down. While holding the tab down,
insert the blade of the screwdriver above the smart cell and slide downward. The smart cell
easily slides out for removal.
2. With the yellow ribbon cover facing up, insert the blade of the screwdriver, one at a time, in
through the five locking tab holes to depress the locking tabs. While depressing each tab with
the screwdriver, use your thumb or finger to apply upward pressure on the ribbon cap finger
tab. The ribbon cover releases and separates from the rest of the assembly.
3. Using the screwdriver, pry out the metal ribbon spring from the inside of the yellow ribbon cap.
4. Once the spring is removed, turn the ribbon cartridge on its side and allow the ribbon and
white spools to fall out.
5. Unwind the ribbon from the spools, then gently peel the ribbon end from the weak adhesive
that affixes the ribbon to the spool.
