Installation Notes

For optimal print quality and ribbon longevity, ensure the ribbon is loaded correctly, maintaining proper tension to prevent wrinkling or breakage. The ribbon must be installed with the ink-coated side facing the printhead. Avoid touching the ink surface with bare hands to prevent contamination. Store unused ribbons in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight.
