How to correctly install colored full resin carbon ribbon?

The correct installation of colored full resin ribbon is a key step in ensuring print quality and normal printer operation. The following is a general installation guide, but please note that different models of printers may have different installation steps and precautions, so it is best to follow the instructions in the printer user manual for operation. Here are basic installation steps:

1. Preparation:

Make sure to select a color full resin carbon ribbon that matches the printer and label paper type.

Clean the inside of the printer, especially the passages for the carbon ribbon and label paper, to ensure that there is no dust or residue.

2. Install carbon ribbon shaft:

Remove the carbon ribbon shaft and ensure that both ends of the shaft are smooth, without burrs or damage.

Insert the ribbon shaft into the ribbon shaft slot of the printer, ensuring that the shaft is aligned correctly and can rotate freely.

3. Passing through the guide groove:

Pull the carbon ribbon out of the spool and pass it through the guide slot of the printer.

Ensure that the carbon ribbon is not wrinkled or twisted when passing through the printer, and should smoothly pass through the printer until it reaches the print head.

4. Fixed carbon ribbon:

Secure the end of the ribbon onto the ribbon holder of the printer to ensure it does not move during the printing process.

If the printer has a carbon ribbon tension adjustment device, adjust it to the appropriate tension, neither too tight nor too loose.

5. Check the carbon ribbon path:

Before starting printing, check the path of the carbon ribbon to ensure that it is not stuck or deviating from the correct path.

6. Test printing:

Before formal printing, testing printing can be conducted to ensure that the carbon ribbon is installed correctly and the printing effect meets expectations.

During the installation process, the following points should also be noted:

Avoid direct contact between fingers and the printing surface of the ribbon to prevent contamination of the ribbon.

Unused carbon ribbons should be stored in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and high temperatures to extend their lifespan.

Regularly clean the ribbon channel and print head of the printer to maintain optimal performance.

If you encounter any problems during the installation process or if the printer malfunctions, it is recommended to consult the printer's user manual or contact the technical support department of the printer manufacturer for assistance.
