WARNING!!! RISK OF BEING CUT
PROCEED WITH THE PROCESS WITH THE AC CORD DISCONNECTED FROM THE PRINTER
Install the lateral guards as shown below, making sure to align the fastening points indicated by the arrows.
The lateral guards are both different from one another, one is for the left side and one is for the right side.
Be careful in positioning the guards.
In case of difficulty with these processes, contact TEXLABEL technical support.
Once the lateral guards and stacker is installed, the cutter will look as so:

REGULATE THE WIDTH OF THE STACKER
Adapting the width of the stacker, based on the ribbon width.
By loosening (using the allen key for regulating) the 4 screws indicated in the picture below, allows to slide
the lateral guards of the stacker to increase or decrease the width needed. To lock the width at a
determined width, use the measurement ruler placed between the bolts as a guide.

LOADING RIBBONS AND FOILS
LOADING RIBBONS
Rotate the regulator tab ring (5) counter-clockwise, so the arrow (6) is aligned with unlock symbol. In this
way loosening the regulator tab (4).
Remove the regulator tab (4) from the ribbon supply holder (3).
Insert the ribbon (2) onto the ribbon supply holder (3), so that the ribbon unwinds clockwise.
Insert the regulator tab (4) onto the ribbon supply holder (3) and slide down until the two regulator tabs (1
and 4) keep the ribbon (2) in place.
Rotate the regulator tab ring (5) clockwise, so the arrow (6) is aligned with the lock symbol. By doing so, the
regulator tab will fasten onto the ribbon supply holder.
10
Make sure the printhead is raised and that the pressure wheel is raised.
Increase the lateral guides of the ribbon using the lateral guide regulator.
Pass the ribbon through the print mechanism as shown below.
Once the ribbon is installed and guided through the print mechanisms, proceed with regulating the lateral
guides of the ribbon.
To regulate the lateral guides of the ribbon, use the lateral guide regulator indicated by the red arrow. By
rotating the regulator clockwise, the lateral ribbon guides (yellow arrows) will close, and counter-clockwise
will open them.
The lateral guides need to be regulated based on the width of the ribbon being used.
If the guides are too tight, a “belly” will form on the ribbon that will cause a bad quality of print and will
probably jam the printer.
If the guides are too wide, the ribbon will move during the printing process.
