Ribbon is required with thermal transfer media. If your printer is equipped with the thermal transfer option
and if you will be using thermal transfer media, load ribbon as follows:
1. Open the cover.
2. Remove both Ribbon
Hubs.
3. Slide a roll of Ribbon onto
one of the Ribbon Hubs
and an Empty Core onto
the other hub.
4. Push the Printhead Latch
down and raise the
Printhead Carrier
Assembly.
5. Place the Ribbon Hubs back into the printer and route the ribbon through the Printhead Carrier Assembly
as shown below, then close the Printhead Carrier.
Ensure the inked side of the ribbon faces the media and NOT the printhead.
7. The 'Media Type' setting within the printer's setup must be set to 'Thermal Transfer' to print using a
ribbon. See Section 3.4.
