Loading Ribbon

Create a Ribbon Leader
A ribbon leader makes it easier to load and unload ribbon. Make a leader for your ribbon roll if
it does not already have one.
To make a ribbon leader, complete these steps:
1. Unroll the ribbon about 6 in. (15 cm).
2. Tear off a strip of labels and backing about 6 in. (15 cm) long from the label roll.
3. Peel a label from the backing.
4. Overlap the ribbon and the backing with the ribbon on top, and use the label to tape them
together. This serves as a ribbon leader (Figure 18).

Load Ribbon
To load the ribbon, complete these steps:
1. See Figure 19. Align the segments of the ribbon supply spindle.

2. Place the roll of ribbon on the ribbon supply spindle, and push the core as far back as it
can go.
3. If the printhead is closed, open it using the printhead lever.
