transfer or direct thermal. If the printer does not detect a ribbon (direct
thermal mode), the motor that drives the ribbon spindles will be turned
off.

2. Push down on the Ribbon Access Cover to unlock and open.

shown below, with the ink side facing outside. Then, mount it on the
Rear Hubs.

printer, and mount it on the Front Hubs.
