Checking the Ink Side of the Ribbon

There are two wind directions for the ribbon. Face-out means the ink is on the outer side and Face-in
means the ink is on the inner side. The printer supports both wind directions. You can examine the ink
side of the ribbon using the following procedure.
1. Place the outer side of the ribbon onto the media (touching).
2. Scratch the inner side of the ribbon with your fingernail or a pointed object.
If there is a mark on the media, the ink is coated on the outer side of the ribbon.
