7 Guide transfer ribbon through the print mechanism.
The continuous line applies for ribbons with the coating side
on the inner side of the roll, and the dashed line for ribbons
with the coating side on the outside of the roll.
8 Secure the starting end of transfer ribbon to middle of
the ribbon core with adhesive tape.
When using cores that are wider than the transfer ribbon,
use the scale at the printhead retainer to adjust the path of
the ribbon. Ensure counterclockwise rotation direction of the
transfer ribbon take-up hub.
9 Turn the transfer ribbon take-up hub counterclockwise to
smooth out the feed path of the transfer ribbon.
10 Turn the lever clockwise to lock the printhead.

3 Displace plungers symmetrically to a maximum scale
value of 70.
4 Tighten the threaded pins.
;The head locking system is set.

NOTE
Material damage caused by false environmental
conditions!
Printhead can be damaged by improper handling!
fDo not touch the heating elements of the printhead with
the fingers or sharp objects.
fEnsure that the labels are clean.
fEnsure that the label surfaces are smooth. Rough labels
act like emery paper and reduce the service life of the
printhead.
fPrint with the lowest possible printhead temperature.
The printer is ready for operation when all connections
have been made and labels and, if applicable, the
transfer ribbon have been loaded.
7.1 Synchronization of the paper feed
After inserting the label material, a synchronization of
the paper feed is necessary in cut mode. In the process,
the first label detected by the label light barrier is moved
into print position and all of the labels ahead of it are
transported out of the printer. This prevents errors in the
cut length of the first section in cut mode. This could
make the first label unusable. Press the feed button to
start the synchronization. Remove the empty labels cut
off by the label feed.
To rewind the transfer ribbon, use a core with a width
between the width of the supply roll and 115mm.
