Loading Thermal Transfer Ribbon
If you plan to use thermal transfer mode, you must install a thermal transfer ribbon
(TTR) to print in thermal transfer mode.
Note: Save the packaging that your ribbon came in. Attached to the ribbon packaging is
a small label with a three-digit sensitivity number printed on it (Intermec ribbon only).
You need this information to set the correct media sensitivity number. Refer to the next
section “Setting the Media Sensitivity Number” for more information.
To load thermal transfer ribbon
1. Raise the printhead by rotating the head lift lever clockwise until the printhead
disengages.
2. Place the empty ribbon core that came with the printer onto the ribbon rewind hub.
3. Detach the leader from the new thermal transfer ribbon roll and unwind the end of
the ribbon approximately 20.32 centimeters (8 inches). The edge of the ribbon has a
leader (with an adhesive strip on the leader edge) for guiding the ribbon through the
printhead mechanism.
4. Slide the roll of thermal transfer ribbon onto the ribbon supply hub with the ribbon
roll winding clockwise.
