Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, power down the printer and open the cover. Gently remove the old ribbon cartridge, ensuring you do not touch the ink-saturated fabric to avoid staining. Insert the new ribbon, guiding the fabric carefully between the print head and the platen. Ensure the ribbon is flat and not folded before closing the printer housing. This ribbon is compatible with a wide array of devices including Epson ERC-23, Bixolon SRP-270, Micros 1200W, and Verifone Tranz systems. To prolong the life of your ribbon, ensure the printer is kept in a dust-free environment and replace the cartridge as soon as the print quality begins to fade to prevent unnecessary wear on the internal print pins.
