Installing the satin
Estimated reading: 2 minutes
⚠️ Recommended: watch the video
Is it your first time installing the satin ribbon? To ensure correct installation, we recommend watching the instruction video.
- Place the satin roll in the centre of the spindle. Ensure that the ribbon is facing down.
- With the smooth side of the two guides facing the ribbon, secure the satin roll with the guides.
Please note that the roll should not be secured too tightly! The satin ribbon must be easily unwindable.
- Insert the spindle into the slots in the printer.
- Turn the roll of satin ribbon towards you to slightly unwind it.
- Press the green button with the text PUSH displayed on it.
- Raise the printing mechanism and push it all the way back.
- Locate the green guides inside the printer. Press and hold the PUSH button on the green guide on the right side, and move this guide as far to the right as possible.
- Check the position of the sensor (found below the green guides) and ensure that the two small triangles are aligned. Avoid touching the sensor screen!
- Pull the loose end of the satin ribbon towards you, through the green guides.
- Press and hold the black button on the green guide on the right side, and slide it to the left to secure the ribbon.
Using a < 20mm wide ribbon?
Use a satin support (available for 10mm, 16mm, and 20mm).
With the side displaying the width on the left, place the satin support between the green guides and pull the ribbon through the red satin support instead of directly through the green guides.
- Take the ribbon and pass it under the black (plastic) bar.
- Pull the ribbon approximately 20 centimetres towards you.
- Guide it across the silver metal plate and feed it outside.
