Sequence of Loading

For ease of use, load label media rolls first followed by the ribbon. Some label rolls require a change to a sensor switch and loading the
ribbon second allows for access to the switch. This is especially helpful if you print on multiple sizes and styles of labels with one printer.

Remove Installed Supplies

If the printer is empty proceed directly to "Loading Label Rolls" on page 18.
While facing the front of the printer follow these steps to remove supplies.
Removing the Label Roll
1. Open the cover, lower the front control panel, then press the green release button to lift the print module.
2. Rotate the red wheel towards you to separate the red media guides from the label media.
3. Lift the entire loaded roll holder straight up and out of the printer.
Removing the Ribbon
Note: Do not cut the ribbon if you plan to store a partially used ribbon in an "already loaded" state with the ribbon connected to both supply
roll and the take-up spindle.
1. Remove the ribbon take-up spindle by pressing it to the right while simultaneously pulling the left end of the spindle towards you.
2. Keep the take-up spindle in your hand and proceed to remove ribbon supply roll.
3. Remove the entire ribbon supply roll by reaching under the opened print module and pressing the ribbon supply roll to the right while
also pulling the left end of the ribbon towards you.
Note: If the ribbon is only partially used then you have a ribbon supply roll and take-up spindle that are connected by the ribbon in an
"already loaded" state. This can be stored and be easily re-installed in this state.
