11 Replace the media cover.
12 Press the Feed/Pause button to advance one label through the printer.
The yellow Empty/Pause LED goes out.
Note: If the yellow Empty/Pause LED does not go out, reload the media
and try again.
Note: In the future, you may want to refer to the label located on the
inside of the media cover for directions on loading media.
If you plan to print in thermal transfer mode, you must install thermal
transfer ribbon (TTR) on the ribbon supply hub after you install the
thermal transfer media. You also must use thermal transfer media and
change the media type setting. For help loading the media, see "Loading
Media Into the Printer" earlier in this chapter. To change the media type
setting, see "Configuring the Serial Port for Communications" in
Chapter 2.
Note: Save the packaging that your ribbon came in. Attached to the
ribbon packaging is a small label with a three-digit sensitivity number
printed on it. You need this information to set the correct media sensitivity
number. For help, see "Setting the Media Sensitivity Number" later in this
chapter.
The core of your thermal transfer ribbon is either made of cardboard or
plastic. You need to use the correct core-locking brackets for your ribbon
core. The printer ships from the factory with the cardboard core-locking
brackets already attached.
Note: If you do not use the correct core-locking brackets, you may
experience printing problems or possible damage to the printer.
To change the cardboard core-locking brackets to plastic core-locking brackets
1 Pull up on the middle of the cardboard core-locking bracket (P/N
065375), while pushing down on one end with your index finger, until
the end of the bracket is free of the ribbon hub.
2 Remove the other end of the bracket from the ribbon hub.
3 Slide one end of the plastic core-locking bracket (P/N 066792) into a
bracket slot on the ribbon hub.
