Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the ribbon, first power off the printer and open the cover. Remove the spent cartridge by gently lifting it out of the printer housing. Snap the new cartridge into the specified guides, ensuring the ribbon sits between the print head and the paper path. Rotate the manual tension knob on the cartridge clockwise to remove any slack before closing the cover. Store unused cartridges in a cool, dry place and keep them in their original sealed packaging until ready for use to prevent the ink from drying out.
