The ribbon is supplied already mounted on a spool for straightforward installation and replacement, enabling quick servicing of cash registers and POS devices to minimize downtime.

How to use

Turn off the printer before replacing the ribbon, open the printer cover according to the device manual, remove the spent ribbon by lifting it off its mounting points and install the new ERC 38 ribbon into the designated slot ensuring correct spool alignment. Advance the ribbon slightly if necessary so the inked surface faces the paper path, close the cover and power the printer on. Perform a test print to confirm correct installation and print clarity.

Usage recommendations

Store spare ribbons in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and high humidity to preserve ink quality. Replace the ribbon when print density decreases or streaking appears. Use manufacturer-recommended cleaning procedures on printheads and paper paths to extend ribbon life and maintain clear, consistent receipts.
