Changing the ribbon

cassette

Before opening the cover, make sure that the printer is switched on so that it can
execute automatic preparations for ribbon changing (widening the print head gap).

During the process of initialization after powering on, the printer checks if a rib­bon cassette is installed. It also checks during the execution of a print job the op­erativeness of the ribbon cassette. These functions mandatory require the use of
the manufacturers original ribbon cassettes (see “Accessories”, page 32). If other
ribbon cassettes were used, the message "Check Ribbon" appears in the display, it
is impossible to print.

Move the paper to the park position.
Open the printer top cover.

Cautiously slide the print head carriage to the left stop
(viewed from the printer front).

The print head heats up during printing. Let it cool
down before touching, if necessary.

Paper handling This section describes how to load fanfold paper, transport paper and move the pa-

per to the tear position.

` Loading paper Your printer can process fanfold paper. For information on the supported paper

sizes, please refer to page 31 (“Paper specifications”).

Only use dust-free or low-dust paper. Many paper qualities are suitable for this
printer. For more information, please refer to the User guide on the Online CD­ROM.

The printer by default is adjusted in such a way, that it will automatically check
the width of the inserted paper before starting a print job. If the paper couldn’t be
detected (for example because it is positioned too far right), the message “PW sen­sor defect” appears in the display, it is impossible to print. If a printing line over­rides the measured paper width, the characters out of range will not be printed and
the message “Paperwidth error” appears in the display. The printer switches to of­fline mode. You can restart the printing process by pressing the Online key.

For further information on paper width measurment, please refer to the User
Guide on the Online CD-ROM.
