Pass the ribbon around the ribbon guides. Carefully place the ribbon

between the ribbon mask and the ribbon guides, ensuring the ribbon is

not twisted. Place the second spool of ribbon on the other hub so the

locking latch snaps into place and the ribbon winds toward the inside.

Adjust the tension by hand–winding the spool.

Guides

NOTE: A twisted ribbon will affect the print quality, shorten the ribbon life,

and cause a paper or shuttle jam.

If paper is loaded, adjust the forms thickness adjustment lever for the

appropriate position that is correct for the thickness of the paper.

Pointer

If the printer power remained on during ribbon loading, press the CHK

switch. If there is no paper in the printer, the CHK indicator will

continue to flash.

NOTE: Ribbon loading directions are also shown on the black plastic

shuttle cover inside the printer.
