Figure 2. Loading the Ribbon
4. Place the empty spool on the right hub. Be sure the ribbon
feeds off the outside of the spool.
5. Press the spool down until it snaps into place.
IMPORTANT
The empty spool has a barcode label on the bottom side and a
date code label on the top. Once the sensor automatically
reads and logs the ribbon barcode, the Integrated Print
Management System starts to track ribbon usage.
If you remove the ribbon during the course of its life and want
to re-install the same ribbon, be sure to place the same spools
on the correct hubs. Do not reverse the spools. Be sure to
re-install the spool with the date code label on the top onto the
right hand hub.

8. Press the spool down until it snaps into place.
9. Turn the left spool by hand to make sure the ribbon tracks
correctly in the ribbon path and around the ribbon guides.
