Remove any slack from the ink ribbon.

If the ribbon is left slack, it may be damaged when 
inserted.

Load the new ink ribbon into the ink ribbon 
compartment.

Close the front panel by pushing the point marked 
with “PULL OPEN”.

Be sure to close the front panel completely. If you 
do not, a paper jam or a malfunction may occur 

while you are printing or cleaning the internal 
thermal head.

• Avoid placing the ink ribbon in a location subject to:

– high temperatures
– high humidity
– excessive dust
– direct sunlight

• Store a partially used ink ribbon in its original 

packaging.

Repair the tear with transparent tape. There should be no 
problem with using the remaining portion of the ribbon.

Wind the spools in the 
direction of the arrow until the 
start position marker appears 
as illustrated.
