4. Set the ribbon in the printer
*Paying attention to the front/back of the ribbon, and supply and uptake, set the ribbon as shown in the picture.
*Turn the supply side of the ribbon in the direction indicated by the arrow to take up slack.
5. Close the front cover.
* When the front cover is closed, the
paper initialization process will be carried out
except in the case when the printer is
turned on after paper setting
(in that case, paper initialization is not carried out).
*There is an IC chip built into the ink ribbon to facilitate media color correction, media type
detection, and print count management. We cannot guarantee proper function of the printer if
media with other than the certified IC chip is used. (If the correct data cannot be read from the
IC chip, a warning beep will sound. In this case, to protect the printer, print with a lower
density.)
*Each IC chip holds data for its own ribbon, so please do not connect the uptake roll or supply roll
of initially separate ink ribbons.
Ribbon winding direction
During the paper initialization process, outside of roll paper with dust or finger prints is
removed by outputting 4 sheets of non printed paper.
The front side of the printer fron
t
is for ribbon supply, and the bac
k
side is for ribbon uptake.

Please set the reels as
shown by color.
If different types of media like 2L-Size and Post Card or others are used in the same printer,
quality problems in the printed image will arise.
So as a rule, please do not use different types of media in the same printer.
But if for some reason different types of media must be used, first turn the printer off, take ou
t
the old media, and turn the printer on again before setting the new media.
* This way, when the front cover is closed, the paper initialization process will be carried out,
unless the printer is turned on after setting of the new media, in which case initializatio
n
won’t take place.
