Loading Transfer Ribbon

NOTICE!
For the thermal transfer printing method it is necessary to load a ribbon, otherwise when using the printer in direct
thermal print it is not necessary to load a ribbon. The ribbons used in the printer have to be at least the same width
as the print media. In case the ribbon is narrower than the print media, the printhead is partly unprotected and this
could lead to early wear and tear.
NOTICE!
Before a new transfer ribbon roll is loaded, the printhead must be cleaned using printhead and roller cleaner
(97.20.002).
The handling instructions for the use of Isopropanol (IPA) must be observed. In the case of skin or eye contact,
immediately wash off the fluid thoroughly with running water. If the irritation persists, consult a doctor. Ensure
good ventilation.

Open the printer cover.

Open printheads (A) by turning the red pressure levers (B) anticlockwise.

Load the transfer ribbon rolls (D) with outer winding onto the unwinding rolls (E).

Place empty ribbon rolls onto the rewinding rolls (C) and lead the transfer ribbon below the printheads (A).

Fix the beginnings of each transfer ribbon with an adhesive tape in rotating direction at the empty roll of the rewinding
rolls (C).
Pay attention to the rotation direction of transfer ribbon rewinder anticlockwise.

In order to move the printheads (A) down, turn the red pressure levers (B) in clockwise direction until they lock.

NOTICE!
As for the electrostatic unloading the thin coating of the thermal printhead or other electronic parts can be
damaged, the transfer ribbon should be antistatic.
The use of wrong materials can lead to printer malfunctions and the guarantee can expire.
