Removing the Ribbon
20 Operator’
s Guide
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.
note
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
Setup Guide
for
complete instructions in how to access and
use the secondary operator panel.
1 Press
