Note 2
2-1) When "No INK Ribbon" or "No TFR Ribbon" is displayed and you find the corresponding ribbon is fully
consumed, be sure to change it.
(Attention: Do not close the side door without changing a fully consumed ribbon, or a tape that holds
the ribbon shaft and the ribbon itself in place would be peeled off and thus the ribbon might get stuck in
the mechanism, likely causing the printer to go out of order.)
2-2) If you load a transfer ribbon rewound by the length of more than one disc (Figure 1), "ERROR TFR
Ribbon End" is displayed even when the end of the ribbon is not in the print position.
If this is the case, perform the following (refer to SECTION 15: Loading Ribbons when necessary):
Step 1. Open the side door.
Step 2. Unlock the ribbon cartridge by flipping up the lock lever and take out the transfer ribbon.
Step 3. Wind forward the ribbon to get the dyes transferred portion passed by, as shown in Figure 2.
(If there is no unused portion remained, replace the ribbon.)
Step 4. Put the transfer ribbon cartridge back to its place and flip down the lock lever.
Step 5. Close the side door.

2-3) "ERROR No TFR Ribbon" is also displayed when you load an ink ribbon in the transfer ribbon
cartridge. Load a transfer ribbon by referring to SECTION 15: Loading Ribbons.
2-4) Dropping the transfer ribbon or other causes may protrude erroneously the transfer ribbon shaft,
resulting in overloads between the transfer ribbon cartridge and drive motor, followed by indication of
errors [ERROR No TFR Ribbon] or [ERROR TFR Ribbon Jam].
To fix such an error, check the transfer ribbon supply and take-up shafts.
*If the shaft is erroneously protruding, place the
ribbon with the shaft perpendicular to the level
plane and push it down until there is no more
protrusion observed, as indicated by the
arrows in the right image.
