Load the Ribbon

1. To place this spindle in the normal position, firmly pull out the spindle end cap 

until it clicks as shown in below. 

2. To place the spindle in the low tension position, firmly push in the end cap until it 

clicks in place.

Refer to illustration on the next page.

3. Press the printhead open lever. The printhead assembly springs up.

4. Orient the ribbon as shown. Push the ribbon roll completely onto the ribbon supply 

spindle.

5. Pull the end of the ribbon over the ribbon sensor, under the printhead assembly, 

and out the front of the printer.

6. Hold the ribbon snug and free of wrinkles and in line with the guide mark near the 

left edge of the strip plate. Close the printhead assembly.

7. Wind the ribbon clockwise onto the ribbon take-up spindle.

Note • The ribbon supply spindle in your printer is a dual-tension variety. Most 
applications require the spindle to be in the normal position. The low tension 
position is recommended only when a wide ribbon is used or normal tension 
hampers the ribbon movement.

Note • Always use ribbon that is wider than the media. The smooth liner of the 
ribbon protects the printhead from wear. For direct thermal printing, do not load 
ribbon in the printer.
