LOADING THE RIBBON
1. Open the Top Access Door by
swinging it up and to the left and
the Side Access Door by
swinging it toward the rear of the
printer.
2. Open the Print Head by rotating
the Head Latch toward the rear
of the printer. The Print Head is
spring-loaded and will
automatically open as soon as the
Head Latch is disengaged.
3. Locate the Extra Ribbon Core
supplied with the printer. Place
the core on the Ribbon Rewind Spindle, pushing it all the way to the inside of
the spindle. Note that the new empty core of each subsequent roll becomes the next
rewind core.
4. Load the ribbon onto the Ribbon Supply Spindle, also pushing it all the way
to the inside of the spindle. The dull side of the ribbon should be facing down as it
travels through the Print Head Assembly.
5. Feed the leader portion of the ribbon through the Print Head Assembly and
up to the Ribbon Rewind Spindle following the routing shown in the
diagram.
