The Eltron Company P310 - Manual (Page 25)

2.2.4 Ribbon Loading
Figure 2-13 shows the loading of ribbons. Note that by keeping the Power ON during
Ribbon Loads, a suspended operation resumes automatically with the Print Head
latch-down that completes Ribbon Loading.
Step 1. Remove the ribbon from its packaging and the material holding the supply
and take up rolls together.
Step 2. Unroll enough ribbon from the supply roll to bridge the space between the
supply and take up spindles of the printer.
Step 3. With the Print Head raised, slide the ribbon cores onto the spindles such that
ribbon travels off the top of the supply spindle and onto the top of the take up
spindle. NOTE: Eltron ribbon cores are keyed to assure a proper installation. To
avoid damage to delicate Print Head elements, make sure the dye-coated side of
any ribbons used faces away from the Print Head. Latch down the Print Head.
