Loading a ribbon
1. Turn on the printer.
2. Open the cover.
3. Place the roll of ribbon on the ribbon
unwind reel (1) so that it unwinds counter-
clockwise.
4. Place the empty ribbon core on the rewind
reel (2).
5. Lead the end of the protective ribbon
(yellow here) under the ribbon deflector (3)
and printhead (4).
6. Pull the protective ribbon upwards and lay
it over the ribbon roller (5).
7. Lead the protective ribbon under the
rewind reel (2) and secure it on the empty
ribbon core using the self-adhesive
strip (6) (Fig. 3).
With many ribbons, the
protective ribbon (shown in
yellow) is followed by a strip of
cleaning ribbon (7) which
removes contamination from the printhead.
The material must be loaded as described
to clean effectively!
8. The ribbon should be straight and crease-
free. Turn the ribbon unwind reel to tighten
the ribbon and eliminate slack.
