Loading The Ribbon - Toshiba B-EX4T2 SERIES Owner's Manual

2. PRINTER SETUP

2.3.2 Loading the Ribbon

NOTES:
1. When attaching the ribbon
stoppers, make sure that
the pinchers face into the
printer
2. Be sure to remove any
slack in the ribbon before
printing. Printing with a
wrinkled ribbon will reduce
the print quality.
3. The Ribbon Sensor is
mounted on the rear of the
Print Head Block to detect
a ribbon end. When a
ribbon end is detected a
"NO RIBBON" message will
appear on the display and
the ERROR LED will
illuminate.
There are two types of media available for printing on: thermal
transfer and direct thermal (which has a chemically treated
surface). DO NOT LOAD a ribbon when using direct thermal
media.
1. Grasp the tabs on the top and bottom of the Ribbon Stoppers
and move the Ribbon Stoppers back to the end of the Ribbon
Shaft.
2. Leaving plenty of slack between the ribbon spools, place the
ribbon onto the Ribbon Shafts as shown below. There are 2
possible ways to load the ribbon.
