• Removing the adhesive labels before closing the 

cover can cause a malfunction.

If the ink ribbon becomes torn while still in use
Cellophane tape, etc., can be used to repair a torn ink 
ribbon so that the remainder of the ribbon can be used.

Once the ink ribbon or paper have been used to print the 
specified number of sheets, follow the procedure described 
below to replace the ink ribbon and paper.

• Be sure to replace the ink ribbon and the paper roll at the 

same time.

• The ink ribbon and paper roll both contain excess 

material. Even if there appears to be some excess ink 
ribbon or paper remaining, replace both with a new ink 
ribbon and paper roll. Attempting to use the remaining 
excess ink ribbon or paper can cause a malfunction.

Make sure that the printer is not performing an 
operation, and then pull out the media tray.

• If the media tray does not pull out, do not force it 

out. Press the 1 ON/STANDBY switch to enter the 
standby state, and then press the switch again to turn 
the printer ON. Try pulling the media tray again 
after the printer finishes initializing.

• After a printing operation is completed, the thermal 

head is very hot. When pulling out the media tray, 
be careful not to touch the thermal head. Touching 

the thermal head could result in a burn. Also, be 
careful not to scratch the thermal head.

Open the cover of the media tray and remove the 
paper roll.

 

Remove the paper holders from the paper roll.

 

Be sure to retain the paper holders for use with the 
next paper roll. Do not discard the paper holders.

Remove the ink ribbon.

 

Roll together the two spools of the ink ribbon that you 
just removed.

 

Load the new ink ribbon and paper.
For details on how to load ink ribbon and paper, refer 
to “Loading the Ink Ribbon and Paper” on page 13.
