Printer Setup

The ribbon is held in a ribbon carrier, which makes inserting and removing the ribbon from the

printer easier. Place the ribbon carrier on a flat surface with the handle to the right side. You

will notice that the left side of the carrier has large holes, while the right side has a V-shaped slot

with a hole beneath it.

Remove the ribbon spools from the protective wrapper and insert the spools into the carrier. The

spool with the ribbon on it is the supply spool and goes to the rear of the carrier. The other spool

(takeup) goes to the front of the carrier.

Be certain to fully seat the ribbon spools into the carrier, paying particular attention to the right

side. If you look at the right side of the carrier, the ribbon spool "axle" should be in the round

hole beneath the V-shaped slot.

Correct Installation

Incorrect Installation

Place the paper tray on a flat surface and remove the paper tray dust cover. With the tray empty,

press down on the paper platten (hinged black plastic piece on the bottom near the back of the

tray) until it "locks" in the down position, and adjust the green paper end stop to the appropriate

position for the paper size that you have. Remove the paper from the package and insert

"emulsion" side up (Kodak logo side down). Be careful not to touch the paper within the

printable area, or you'll see fingerprints on your prints. There is approximately 1 inch of

unprinted area at both ends of the paper, so it is safe to touch the paper in that area when loading

the paper.
