How to operate
• Remove the front cover [1]
• Open the side cover [2]
• Remove the used ribbon.
• Clean the rubberized ribbon roller [R1] using alchool to have a good grip with the ribbon.
• Insert the empty cardboard core [a] with biadhesive layer on shaft [A1] and the ribbon core [b]
on shaft [A2].
• Unwind the ribbon from the full core and pass it through the slits, as shown in figure.
• Wrap the ribbon tail around the empty core to have a grip with the biadhesive layer. If there is
no bi-adhesive on the empty core, fix the ribbon to the core using added adhesive.
• Close the side cover [2].
• Insert the front cover [1].
• Wait the automatic ribbon feed operation to extend the thermal ribbon and to avoid wrinkles.
• Set the printer READY.
• Restart the packaging line.
NOTE: for 30 mm wide ribbon it is necessary to insert ring spacers 49KS0113
on the shafts. XTO requests to have ribbon centered to the print head.
The thermal ribbon reserve condition is reported on the basis of the diameter of the ribbon recovery
reel and is always visible on the page "Production view" of the Printer software (see Chapter
"Product Description - OPERATING PANEL" of this manual).
To ensure good print, always clean the print head before fitting a new
ribbon to the printer.
