Place the ribbon with the outer side facing down and attach it to the holder.

4

Install the attached ribbon into the printer.

Install the ribbon core into the printer.

6

After securing the ribbon with tape, lightly wind it to ensure it lays flat.

7

Place the label paper between the media holders.

8

Close the printer cover and connect the power cable.

Press the power button and wait for the status LED to turn green. Then press the FEED button to check if the paper comes out properly.
