Installing the ink ribbon and label roll inside a label printer

Trail label printers use an ink ribbon and label roll to print item labels. Both supplies need to be installed correctly to ensure that labels print clearly and feed through the printer properly.

This guide explains how to replace the ink ribbon and label roll in Toshiba B-SA4TM and Toshiba BA410T label printers.

Replacement ink ribbons and label rolls can be purchased from Trail.

To order label supplies, contact Trail Support at support@trail.fi.

Installing the ink ribbon

  1. Open both covers of the printer
  2. Open the smaller cover to access the two green ink ribbon holders
  3. Lift both holders as far as possible to make installing the ribbon easier.

  1. Insert the new ribbon roll into the holder at the back of the printer
  2. The full roll of unused ribbon should be at the back. Feed the ribbon underneath the top cover assembly towards the front of the printer.

  1. Attach the empty take-up core to the holder at the front of the printer
  2. Turn the take-up core slightly to tighten the ribbon

  1. Make sure the ribbon is straight and tight. This helps prevent wrinkles during printing.
  2. Close both covers

Installing the label roll

  1. Press the Open button at the front of the printer to open the cover
  2. Open the first holder by lifting it from the right side
  3. Remove the label roll holder from the back of the printer

Note: Under the first holder, there is a small hole in the green base. Make sure the green pointer is aligned with this hole.

  1. Open the small lid on the green side of the label roll holder
  2. Remove the green side of the holder
  3. Place the label roll against the black side of the holder
  4. Reattach the green side and close the lid

  1. Position the green side close to the label roll so that the roll cannot move sideways.
  2. Place the label roll holder back into the printer

  1. Make sure the labels feed from underneath the roll towards the front of the printer
  2. Pull the labels forward until approximately 1–2 labels extend from the front of the printer
  3. Close the first holder over the labels
  4. Slide the two green guides at the front of the holder towards the labels

The guides should be close enough to keep the labels straight without preventing them from moving.

  1. Close the printer cover

Starting the printer

  1. Turn the printer On using the power switch at the front of the printer
  2. The printer is now ready for label printing.
