When you switch between direct thermal and thermal transfer
printing, or when you switch between different types of transfer
ribbon, you can remove a partially used transfer ribbon and save
it for later use.
To remove a partially used ribbon
1 Press the cover open buttons on both sides of the case to open
the top cover. Fold the cover upwards/rearwards.
2 Press the green release tabs at the bottom of the top cover on
both sides of the printhead and lift the print carriage halfway
up while keeping the top cover fully opened.
3 Using a pair of scissors, cut the transfer ribbon just below the
rewind roll.
4 Rewind the unused ribbon onto the supply spool. Remove the
roll by pushing it to the left until the right end disengages
then lift the roll up. Fasten the loose end with a piece of tape
or label to prevent the roll from unwrapping.
