Loading Ribbon
Each ribbon cartridge includes features that identify the cartridge type to the
printer. These features also track usage information so the printer knows
when the ribbon is exhausted and prevents the use on non-Zebra branded
cartridges.
1. Open the top cover.
2. Remove the cleaning roller protective cover.
3. Insert the ribbon in the orientation shown. The ribbon can only be inserted
in one direction, do not force the ribbon into the incorrect position.
4. Close the top cover.
