Removing The Ribbon - Printronix T3204 series Operator's Manual

Removing the Ribbon

Generally, ribbons are used to completion
and then replaced. Removal of the old ribbon
is simply a matter of pulling it off the take–up
hub and discarding it.
However, there may be times when the use
of direct thermal media is required and an
installed ribbon has not been completely
used up. (As noted previously, when printing
in direct thermal mode, the printer does not
use a ribbon.)
In this case, use the following procedure to
remove the ribbon.
The direct thermal mode is selected
through the printer menu system. The main
menu is accessed via the secondary
operator panel. Refer to the "Configuring
the Printer" chapter in the
complete instructions in how to access and
use the secondary operator panel.
Press ON LINE/PAUSE to place the
printer in the off line mode.
