Ste 1: Make sure the machine is turned off while
loading all materials. To open the machine, gently pull the
two light green cover lock tabs towards you. Lift the
chassis. Place the hood prop on setting #2. Your
printer should now resemble Figure 1.
Ste 2: Select a roll of vinyl supply and place the light
green plastic roller through it. Place the loaded roller
into the machine on the cradle. Place vinyl under the
Teflon bar, through the adjustable guides, over the
rubber platen and through the cutter. Adjust the green
guides so the right-hand guide lip is over the vinyl (this
guide contains a sensor that must be positioned over
the vinyl). Your printer should now resemble Figure 2.
Ste 3: Next, open the clear ribbon access cover. Install
a ribbon onto a plastic ribbon supply spindle. Install an
empty paper core on to the other plastic supply spindle
to serve as your rewind spindle. The ribbon spindle is
loaded on to the rear hub (Figure 3) with the flange side
in the right hub lock. The rewind spindle is loaded on to
the front hub.
When loaded correctly, the ribbon will unwind from the
back, down through the machine, under the print head
and back up to the rewind spindle (Figure 4). Secure the
loose ribbon to the empty core with tape. Make sure the
ribbon is free of wrinkles and is smooth. Gently turn the
rewind spindle toward back of the machine to tighten.
Ste 4: While gently lifting up on the chassis, release the
hood prop by pulling it towards you until it lays flat and
the machine can be closed. Close machine until it clicks
into place. The machine is now loaded properly and
should resemble Figure 5.
