Install the Print Ribbon
Depending on the printer model, the print ribbon is available as a replaceable roll that you install
on the print ribbon cartridge, or a prefilled print ribbon cassette.

The print ribbon cartridge ships inside the printer.
1. Pull up the cover latch handle and open the printer cover.
Remove the print ribbon cartridge.
2. Load the print ribbon.
a. Load a full roll of print ribbon (the
purple spool) onto the purple spindle
closest to the cartridge handle until it
clicks into place.
b. Place the silver take-up spool on the
silver take-up spindle until it clicks into
place.

counterclockwise one full turn.
3. Load the cleaning roller on the ribbon cartridge.

Load a new cleaning roller with each new roll of print ribbon. Replace it between
