Loading Zebra Transfer Ribbon
Before following these steps, prepare the ribbon by removing its wrapping and pulling its
adhesive strip free.
Verify that the ribbon and empty ribbon core have notches on the left side of the ribbon cores
as shown above. If they do not, see Loading Non-Zebra Transfer Ribbon on page 18.
1. With the printer open, place an empty ribbon core on printer’s take-up spindles. Push the
right side of the empty core onto the spring loaded spindle (right side). Align the core with
the center of the left side spindle’s hub and rotate the core until the notches align and lock.
You can find your first ribbon take-up core in the packing box. Subsequently, use the
empty supply core from the supply spindle for the next roll of ribbon.
