How to change a ribbon on Datacard CD800

Please remember:
  • The ribbon winds from the supply spool to the take-up spool
  • The old, used ribbon will have the big roll towards the back of the printer
  • The new, unused ribbon has the big roll towards the front of the printer
  • The shafts on the ribbon holder are different sizes for a reason.
  • Do not remove the cap from the take-up spool on the new ribbon, that is the RFID tag that allows the ribbon to communicate with the printer.  If you take it off and damage or lose it, you will have to buy a new ribbon.

Everyone loves it. 
And it’s so easier for the admission staff to read the names or the health card number!
