4.4 Loading ribbon
We recommend that you should use a genuine Citizen ribbon or its equivalent.
This printer is designed to align the center of the media (paper) with the center of the printhead,
regardless of media width. Refer to the scale on the tear bar for aligning media (paper) or ribbon on page.
And for reference, the center of the gear of the paper guide drive mechanism, which is located on the
bottom of the printer main body, is the center of the media.
1 To align the ribbon with the media (paper) being used, adjust the ribbon positioning nut as follows:
1) Turn a little counterclockwise the lock nut of the ribbon bobbin to release the lock.
2) First turn counterclockwise the lock nut, then turn counterclockwise the ribbon positioning nut
to move the flange A towards the center of the ribbon bobbin and to align it with the edge of the
media being loaded.
3) Check to see that the ribbon is positioned properly, and fix the ribbon positioning nut by turning
the lock nut clockwise.
