Installing a Prism Printer Ribbon

We recommend you store all ribbons at a temperature between 60°–95°F, and avoid moisture

or direct sunlight. If you are replacing the ribbon, now is a good time to clean the printhead.

Procedure

1. Power on the printer.

2. Remove the top cover.

3. Pull up the Take-up Roller so the end with the gear comes up first as shown

below, and remove the Take-up Roller out of the printer.

4. Remove the Supply Roller by pulling up on the end as shown.

5. Slide the Print Ribbon onto the Supply Roller, as shown in the figure below.

Align the two Notches of the Cardboard Core to the Metal Pins on the Supply

Roller.

6. Peel the Ribbon Leader from the Supply Ribbon.

8. Pass the Ribbon Leader under the Ribbon Guide (metal shaft) as shown.

9. Tape the Ribbon Leader to the back of the Printer Drawer as shown above.

automatically threads the ribbon to the front of the printer.

12. Remove the tape from the Printer Drawer.

13. Remove the adhesive strip from the ribbon leader.

14. Place the new empty Cardboard Core on the Take-up Roller. It is notched to

fit only one way.

15. Place the Take-up Roller on top of the Ribbon Leader as shown. The gear must

be on the correct side.

16. Pull the Ribbon Leader up over the Cardboard Core and attach the Adhesive

Strip to the Cardboard Core so the edges on the Ribbon Leader are aligned to

the edges of the Cardboard Core. The arrow below illustrates the wrap

direction.

17. Roll up the ribbon leader so it is wrapped only once around the roller. Do not

go past the marking on the leader that states – STOP - Wind Leader Onto

Take-up Core Stopping here.

18. Install the cardboard Take-up Roller in the printer as shown. At this time, the

ribbon should be tight and there should be no creases in the ribbon.

19. Install the Take-up Roller in the printer and press down firmly until the Take-

up Roller snaps into place.

20. The “STOP - Wind Leader Onto Take-up Core Stopping here” marking on the

Ribbon Leader should not be rolled onto the take-up roller. The marking

should not be past the point shown in the above picture. If the marking is on

the roller, pull the Take-up Roller out and roll back the ribbon. Take up the

slack by rolling the supply roller back.

21. Press the Unit Attention button to close the drawer. The ribbon should be

pulled tight after it runs the ribbon validation process.

22. Install the top cover.
