Loading Transfer Ribbon

1. Load an empty ribbon core onto a ribbon core adapter. The empty ribbon core should be
the same width (or larger) than the ribbon roll. Roughly center the core over the adapters
center line. Note that an empty Zebra ribbon core may be used instead of the adapter and
empty non-Zebra ribbon core. One 300m empty ribbon core is supplied with the printer.
2. Load the non-Zebra ribbon roll onto the ribbon core adapter. Orient the adapter flange on
the left side and verify that the ribbon unwraps on the backside of the roll as shown in the
illustration. Roughly center the core over the adapters center line.
The maximum roll width of 110m (4.3 inches) does not require centering. For media less
than maximum width down to the minimum width of 33mm (1.3 inches), use the
graduated scale on the adapter core to align the ribbon rolls to the media and printer.
