2.5 Loading the Ribbon
There are two types of media available for printing on: these are thermal
transfer media and direct thermal media (a chemically treated surface).
DO NOT LOAD a ribbon when using a direct thermal media.
1. Rotate the Ribbon Stoppers counterclockwise by 90° and move them
back to the end of the Ribbon Shafts. Restore the Ribbon Stoppers to
the former orientation by turning them clockwise.
2. Leaving plenty of slack between the ribbon spools, place the ribbon
onto the Ribbon Shafts as shown below.
CAUTION!
When loading or replacing the media or a ribbon, be careful not to
damage the print head with a hard object like a watch or a ring.
Since the print head element can be easily damaged by shock, please
treat it carefully by not hitting a hard object against it.
CAUTION!
Be careful not touch the Print
Head Element when raising
the Print Head Block. 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.
