3.3 Loading Ribbon
Note: Always use ribbon slightly wider than the label backing material;
this helps protect against printhead wear. Use only Pitney Bowes
ribbons and labels.
To produce an image on the label, thermal transfer labels requires ribbon.
Ribbon types are available with the ‘ink’ layer on the outside (coating side out)
or with the ‘ink’ layer on the inside (coating side in). These types cannot be
interchanged in the printer. Arrows on the Ribbon Supply Hub are used to
indicate the correct direction of ribbon travel (see the next page for examples).
To load a ribbon:
Raise the Access Cover.
Rotate the Printhead Latch
forward to raise the printhead.
