6. Load the ribbon behind and over

the top of the Ribbon Rewind

Spindle and tape it to the Extra

Ribbon Core. Make sure it

matches the ribbon path shown in

the diagram.

7. Manually turn the Rewind

Spindle to wrap the ribbon onto

the core one to two turns to secure

it.

8. If the labels are already loaded,

close the Print Head Assembly by pushing downward on the green tab until it

latches closed.

NOTE: Run a test print to ensure that the labels and ribbons were loaded correctly. See

the Test Print Mode section on page 34 for instructions on how to run test prints.

CAUTION: If your labels are less than the full width of the print head, the outside edge

will eventually wear out a small portion of the print head, resulting in an area that will not

print. Special care must be taken if you plan to use multiple widths of labels, since the

damaged portion of the print head caused from edge wear on a more narrow label may

affect the printing on a wider label. We suggest you plan your print formats carefully to

avoid using the area of possible damage on the print head when using a wider label. The

small area of damage will have no effect on printing with the undamaged part of the print

head.

Damage from a label edge is physical damage and is unavoidable. It is not covered by

warranty. It is possible to delay such damage by always ensuring that the ribbon used is

wider than the label stock. This will help to protect the print head from label edge

damage.
