Remove Used Ribbon

When the ribbon has run out or must be changed, remove the used ribbon from the
take-up spindle. This illustration shows the ribbon take-up spindle.
To remove used ribbon, complete these steps:
1. Open the printhead.
2. Has the ribbon run out?
• Yes — continue with the next step.
• No — tear or cut the ribbon as close to the ribbon take-up spindle as possible.
Caution • Do not cut through the ribbon that is on the take-up spindle
because you may damage the spindle. Use the release knob to slide the ribbon
off of the spindle.
3. While holding the ribbon take-up spindle, turn the ribbon release knob clockwise
until it stops. This causes the ribbon release bars to pivot down, easing the
spindle's grip on the used ribbon.
4. Slide the used ribbon off of the ribbon take-up spindle.
5. Align the arrow on the ribbon take-up spindle knob with the notch in the ribbon
take-up spindle.
6. To load new ribbon, see Load Ribbon
