Be careful not to touch the Print Head Element while loading the ribbon.
Failure to do this may cause missing dots by static electricity or other print quality problems.

drawn into the moving parts, be sure to load the ribbon once the printer has stopped moving
completely.
2. The print head becomes hot immediately after printing. Allow it to cool before loading the
ribbon.
