How to Load Ribbon

To load ribbon, complete these steps:

1. Raise the media door.

Note • This section applies only to printers that have the Thermal Transfer option installed.

Caution • While performing any tasks near an open printhead, remove all rings, watches,

hanging necklaces, identification badges, or other metallic objects that could touch the

printhead. You are not required to turn off the printer power when working near an open

printhead, but Zebra recommends it as a precaution. If you turn off the power, you will lose

all temporary settings, such as label formats, and you must reload them before you resume

printing.

Important • Use ribbon that is wider than the media to protect the printhead from wear.

Ribbon must be coated on the outside.
