6. Open the printer's top cover by releasing
the green top cover open levers located
on each side of the printer and lifting the
top cover. Pull the ribbon from the ribbon
supply spindle and cross the print head,
stick the ribbon onto the ribbon rewind
paper core.
7. Rotate the ribbon rewind paper core until the ribbon leader is thoroughly, firmly encompassed by the black
section of the ribbon.
8. Close the ribbon access window and
it will be kept at a stop position between 1 and 2 for a while. Use both hands to gently push down the top cover to
close it and make sure the cover is latched on both sides.
Note: The printer automatically detects if a ribbon is installed after power on and will switch to thermal transfer or
direct thermal printing mode. If the printer does not detect a ribbon (direct thermal mode), the motor that
drives the ribbon spindles will be turned off. Make sure both the ribbon access window and the printer top
cover are closed when powering the printer up.
