There are two types of media available for printing on: these are thermal
transfer media (normal media) and direct thermal media (with a
chemically treated surface). DO NOT LOAD a ribbon when using a
direct thermal media.
1. Press the Top Cover Release Button and gently open the Top Cover to
its fully open position supporting it with your hand.
2. Fit the core of the ribbon supply roll into the Ribbon Holders (Supply
side), aligning the notch of the ribbon core with the protrusion of the
Ribbon Stopper.
CAUTION!
Be careful not touch the Print
Head Element when opening
the Top Cover. Failure to do
this may cause missing dots by
static electricity or other print
quality problems.
1. Do not touch any moving
parts. To reduce the risk of
fingers, jewellery, clothing,
etc., being drawn into the
moving parts, be sure to
load the ribbon once the
printer has stopped moving
completely.
2. The print head becomes hot
immediately after printing.
Allow it to cool before
loading the ribbon.
3. To avoid injury, be careful
not to trap your fingers
while opening or closing the
cover.
