The ribbon fits easily in the printer. There is only one way
to correctly place the spools. Follow these steps to load the ribbon.
Important: Wear lint-free gloves when handling
ribbon spools. Hold the ribbon spools by the ends to avoid fingerprints.
| Step 1: |
Remove the old ribbon spools and dispose
of them. Images remain on the ribbon after printing. If you are
working with confidential documents and need to maintain security,
you may need to consider alternate ways of disposing of the ribbon.
|
| Step 2: |
Clean the print head. See the Operator's Guide
for instructions.
|
| Step 3: |
Remove the new ribbon spools from the box. The supply spool
is longer than the take–up spool. For new ribbons, the
supply spool will be loaded with ribbon and the take-up spool will
be empty.
|
| Step 4: |
Push the left side of the take–up spool into the
left side of the top spool holder (the holders are spring–loaded).
|
| Step 5: |
Match the notches in the take–up spool with the
notches on the right spool holder.
|
| Step 6: |
Insert the right side of the take–up spool into
the holder on the right.
|
| Step 7: |
Hold the supply spool so that the adhesive strip on the
ribbon is facing you and the barcode is on the left. Make sure,
especially when you are reloading a partially used spool, that the
spool notches are on the right.
|
| Step 8: |
Push the left side of the supply spool into the left side
of the bottom spool holder (the holders are spring loaded).
|
| Step 9: |
Match the notches in the supply spool with the notches
on the right spool holder.
|
| Step 10: |
Insert the right side of the supply spool into the holder
on the right.
|
| Step 11: |
Remove the tape from the adhesive strip.
|
| Step 12: |
Hold any excess ribbon behind the adhesive strip.
|
| Step 13: |
Pull the ribbon up carefully and stick the adhesive onto
the takeup spool. Keep the ribbon as straight as possible.
|
| Step 14: |
Smooth the ribbon over the adhesive strip.
|
| Step 15: |
Wind the take-up spool
away from you several
times. The first full set of dye patches is not used for printing.
|
| Step 16: |
Close the printer cover.
