Remove Used Ribbon
Remove used ribbon from the ribbon take-up spindle each time you change the roll of ribbon
or when switching from thermal transfer mode to direct thermal mode.
To remove used ribbon, complete these steps:
1.
2.
To loosen the ribbon, squeeze it against the ribbon take-up spindle tension blades (1). At
the same time, turn the ribbon take-up spindle release knob counterclockwise (
2).
The tension blades collapse into the ribbon take-up spindle, loosening the ribbon.
3. Slide the used ribbon off of the ribbon take-up spindle and discard.
Caution • Do not cut the ribbon directly on the ribbon take-up spindle. Doing so may
damage the spindle.
If the ribbon has not run out, cut or break it before the ribbon take-up spindle (1).
