Loading an Ink Ribbon

If this is the first time you are using the printer, power on the printer until an ink error or a film
error occurs, then power it off. (The printer is shipped in transport mode, which does not allow
ink ribbon or retransfer material to be installed. Power on cancels transport mode.)
1.
Slide the door latch up and open the printer door.
2.
Press the ink ribbon release button and remove the
orange cartridge.
3.
Remove both used ribbon spools from the cartridge (if
present).
4.
Load the new roll of ink ribbon on the cartridge:
a.
Put the full spool of ribbon on the orange supply
spindle (A).
b.
Put the empty take‐up spool on the black take‐up
spindle (B).
c.
Align ribbon along the three ribbon guides (C).
d.
Make sure that the ribbon panels match the colored
diagram in the cartridge (D).
e.
Take up any slack by turning the supply knob counter‐
clockwise. Gently pull the take‐up knob and turn (E). If
slack cannot be removed, verify that the supply and take‐
up spools are firmly seated on the spindles.
To ease inserting into the printer, the film must be
tight along the ribbon guides. Turning the supply and
take‐up knobs helps maintain the proper tension.
5.
Replace the loaded ribbon cartridge in the printer until it
clicks into position.
6.
Close the printer door.
