Loading Print Ribbon

LabelTac® 4 Pro Ribbon Loading Tutorial Video

  1. Open cover by pulling both green cover release tabs straight towards you. (The cover support will engage to hold the cover open) Open ribbon access cover by pressing down on the indent.
  2. Remove outer plastic bag from the ribbon, and unstick the white ribbon ‘leader’ or ‘tail’ from the roll. (For new rolls)
  3. With the ribbon leader hanging from behind/under the roll, insert the ribbon onto a ribbon spool so the flange is on the right hand side, then insert spool left-side first onto the ribbon supply hub (rear hub) and snap into place.
  4. Insert empty cardboard core onto the other ribbon spool, and insert spool onto the ribbon rewind hub (front hub).
  5. Pull ribbon leader down, and then up and over the print head, and stick the ribbon to the core with tape or the leader adhesive.
  6. Turn the rewind hub/core until the leader is wound around the core, and the ribbon material fully covers the print head.
  7. Close the ribbon access cover, disengage the cover support by lifting it up and towards you, and gently close the top cover.

Loading Label Supply

  1. Open cover by pulling both green cover release tabs straight towards you. (The cover support will engage to hold the cover open)
  2. Insert green media holder bar into the core of the tape supply, then insert the media holder caps, ‘ring’-side first, onto each end around the material evenly, centering the roll on the bar. (The rings should fit inside the core of the tape supply.)
  3. Insert tape supply/media holder assembly into the media supply hub. The ends of the bar should slide into the notches in the supply hub, and the material should spin freely.
  4. Feed the supply under the white bar, in between the green alignment guides and out through the mouth of the printer.
  5. Using your fingers, adjust the alignment guides so they fit the width of the material. (But not too tight!)
  6. Disengage the cover support by lifting it up and towards you, and gently close the top cover.
