Setting method
1. Check the kind of ribbon used and set the ribbon winding
direction using menu setup mode or operation panel. This is
the method for installing an outside wound ribbon (also known
as “ink out”).
Remember, the inked surface should be facing AWAY from the printhead
surface!
2. Place the attached ribbon and paper core separately on one of
the two attached ribbon holders. Insert the two ribbon holders
into the ribbon and paper cores ensuring that they are pushed
in all the way.
