To load thermal transfer ribbon on each print station:
1 Fully seat a roll of coated-side-in ribbon on the print station's Supply
Mandrel. You will feel resistance as the spring clip on the mandrel
secures the roll. Ensure that the ribbon unwinds to the right and under
the roll.
2 Fully seat an empty cardboard takeup core on the associated Rewind
Mandrel.
3 Flip the Print Station Lift Lever counterclockwise to open the printhead.
4 Thread the ribbon over the ribbon guide roller located closest to the
Rewind Mandrel, then downward towards the print station.
5 Thread the ribbon around the lower print station ribbon guide roller and
under the print station.
6 Continue to thread the ribbon up around the front edge of the printhead
then between the ribbon guide roller at the front of the print station and
the anti-static brush support shaft.
7 Finally, wrap the ribbon up and over the empty takeup core. Secure the
end of the ribbon with a small piece of adhesive tape.
8 Turn the ribbon rewind knob clockwise to take up any slack in the
ribbon.
9 Flip the Print Station Lift Lever clockwise to close the printhead.
10 Repeat this process to install ribbon on each of the print stations.
