Kodak Alaris 305-PRINTER Benutzerhandbuch

After installing the print paper, install the ribbon cassette into this printer.

Before installing the ribbon cassette into this printer, load the ribbon in the ribbon 

cassette.

It is recommended to clean the thermal head to keep good print quality when you replace 

the print paper and ribbon.

•  Place the ribbon cassette on a flat surface, when loading the ribbon.

•  Select a place that is free of dust when loading the ribbon. Dust or dirt settling 

on the ribbon results in poor print quality.

•  Make sure that the shafts of the ribbon fit into the ribbon cassette firmly.

Make sure to load it in the correct position.

Make sure to set the ribbon roller to the ditches firmly.

Turn the shaft to eliminate any slack.

To insert the ribbon cassette, align the protrusions on both sides of the 

cassette with the right and left guides inside the printing unit and slide it in 

a slanting direction.

Mount the ribbon cassette to the back firmly by holding the handle.

Do not touch the thermal head.

Fingerprints or dust on the thermal head will degrade the print quality.

Do not touch the thermal head right after printing because it is 

extremely hot. Otherwise you may get burned or injured.

Note that the thermal head is quite sensitive to static electricity. When 

you touch the thermal head while carrying static electricity on your 

body, the thermal head may be damaged.
