Installing Print Ribbon
The Ribbon Installation procedure is easiest to perform with the CD tray open. It is
recommended that the Spectrum2 be turned OFF during ribbon installation.
General information
• The Spectrum2 uses ribbon rollers to hold the supply ribbon (ribbon rolled on tube)
and the take up core (empty cardboard tube).
• The supply ribbon is put on a silver roller and the take up core is placed on a gray
(geared) roller
• The supply ribbon roller is placed in slots in the front of the printer
• The take-up core is placed in slots in central area of the printer
• The ribbon is threaded around the chassis and attached to the take up core using the
adhesive strip on the end of the ribbon (or adhesive tape).
• After the rollers are placed in the Printer Chassis, the chassis must be opened to
thread ribbon through the printer
• Open Printer Chassis by unscrewing the Chassis Lock Knob
• Lift Printer Chassis upward
• When printer ribbon is installed, close chassis gently and screw the Chassis Lock
Knob back into place.
