Installation and Setup
Setting up the Printer
Step 5. Route the Ribbon as shown in the figure below. The Ribbon Supply Spindle is free-
wheeling; pull ribbon off it as needed. If the tape removed from the new ribbon in
Step 3 is undamaged, use it to attach the end of the ribbon to the Take-Up Spool;
otherwise use other adhesive-backed tape.
Step 6. Close the printer Main Cover. Press the
RIBBON button on the Control Panel to
synchronize the color ribbon. If the
MEDIA light fails to go out, check the
Ribbon Sensor.
Step 7. Re-open the printer cover to inspect the ribbon path for wrinkles and folds. Correct if
necessary, then close the cover. If you do not then hear the ribbon motor advancing
the ribbon, press the RIBBON button.
Important • When the end of the ribbon is attached to the Take-Up Spool, slack in the ribbon
can be taken up by rotating the Ribbon Supply Spool; do not try to turn the Take-Up Spool.
