Printer Operation
Load the Printer
Load Ribbon
Before you load ribbon, make sure that the labels that you are using need ribbon. Only thermal
transfer labels require ribbon. Do not load ribbon if the printer is to be used with direct thermal
labels.
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.
Caution • Use ribbon that is wider than the thermal transfer media. If the printhead is not
protected by the ribbon, the resulting abrasion from the media may cause premature printhead
wear.
