3.4 Loading Ribbon

Ribbon is required with thermal transfer media. It is recommended that the width of the ribbon be
slightly wider than the media being used. The printer must use ribbons with the 'coating side out'.
To load:
Note: Using a ribbon that is slightly wider than your media (and liner, if any) will
help protect against printhead wear.
1. Open the media cover. Press in on the
Printhead Latch and raise the printhead
assembly.
2. Slide the Ribbon Roll onto the Ribbon
Supply Hub until it rests against the
hub's flange. Ensure the ribbon unwinds
correctly, so the ribbon flows off the roll
in a clockwise direction.
3. Route the ribbon under the Ribbon Idler
and then out the front of the printer
approximately 12 inches.
