Instruction manual

TP298

Fixate the ink ribbon by attaching an adhesive strip to the cardboard core

1 on the front transport

roller and turn the front roller somewhat into transport direction in order to slightly tension the ink

ribbon.

The thermal transfer ink ribbon and the foil cores are now fixated to the front and rear transport

rollers by a counter-clockwise turning of the nuts. For this you hold the ink ribbon tightly, and tighten

the nuts until you feel resistance.

Make sure that the device is turned off. Insert the spool with the marking strip in such a way, that the

inner side of the strips will be inscribed.

Please note which side of the ink ribbon is coated. The coated side must

not face the print head when inserting it. If you are not sure which side is

coated, you can test the ribbon with some adhesive tape: the coated side

will leave some residue on the adhesive tape.
