10. Rotate the peel roller assembly (J) up until it latches closed.

spindle of the applicator (refer to the applicator’s user’s manual).
Ribbon Loading
To load ribbon, refer to Figure 4 on page 12 (for right-hand units) or Figure 5 on
page 13 (for left-hand units).
NOTE: Do not load ribbon if the print engine is to be used in the direct thermal
mode.
CAUTION: When installing the ribbon roll on the ribbon supply spindle, make
sure to push the ribbon roll against the stop with the ribbon aligned squarely with
its core. Do not use ribbon narrower than the media. If the printhead is not pro-
tected by the smooth backing of the ribbon, premature printhead failure may
result due to excessive abrasion.
Right Hand Units
1. Push the ribbon roll onto the supply spindle (N) as far as it will go, so the ribbon
feeds as shown in Figure 4 on page 12.
2. Install an empty ribbon core onto the ribbon take-up spindle (O).
3. Open the printhead assembly (C) by unlatching the print- head lock lever (D) from
the locking pin (E).
4. Thread the ribbon below the lower ribbon guide roller (P), under the printhead
assembly (C), and up and over the upper ribbon guide roller (Q) as shown in Figure
4. Use caution not to crease or wrinkle the ribbon!
5. Attach the ribbon to the take-up spindle core (use a label if needed) and wind for
several turns in the direction shown in Figure 4.
6. Close the printhead assembly (C) by latching the printhead lock lever (D) onto the
locking pin (E).
7. Insure the ribbon is located between the Ribbon Sensor and the Sensor Reflector
positioned above it.
