Load Ribbon
The ribbon supply spindle in your printer is a dual-tension variety. Most applications require
the spindle to be in the normal position. The low tension position is recommended only when a
narrow ribbon is used or if normal tension hampers the ribbon movement.
Always use ribbon that is wider than the media to protect the printhead from wear. For direct
thermal printing, do not load ribbon in the printer.
