Installing a Print Ribbon

If ribbons are stored in an environment much different from that of the CD printer,

allow plenty of time for them to become acclimated to the new environment. Allow

more time for greater temperature and/or humidity differences.

We recommend you store all ribbons at a temperature between 60°–95°F, and avoid

moisture or direct sunlight.

Note: If you are replacing the ribbon, now is a good time to clean the printhead (see

“Cleaning the Printhead” on page 44).

Procedure

1. Power off the printer.

2. Remove the top cover.

Caution

Verify that the printer is powered off before you continue. The following steps require

you to place your finger directly on the gears of the Take-up roller.

3. Insert your finger in the opening in front of the gear shown below, and pull

back. The Take-up roller will pop free so that you can remove it.

4. Place the empty cardboard core on the Take-up roller. It is notched to fit only

one way.

5. Remove the Supply roller by pulling up on the end as shown above.
