Load Ribbon

Before you load ribbon, make sure that the labels that you are using need ribbon. Only
thermal transfer labels require ribbon. Do not load ribbon if the printer is to be used
with direct thermal labels.
Caution • Use ribbon that is wider than the thermal transfer media. If the
printhead is not protected by the ribbon, the resulting abrasion from the media
may cause premature printhead wear.
A ribbon leader makes it easier to load and unload ribbon. Make a leader for your
ribbon roll if it does not already have one.
To make a ribbon leader, complete these steps:
1. Unroll the ribbon about 6 in. (15 cm).
2. Tear off a strip of labels and backing about 6 in. (15 cm) long from the label roll.
3. Peel a label from the backing.
4. Overlap the ribbon and the backing with the ribbon on top, and use the label to tape
them together. This serves as a ribbon leader.
