2.3 Installing the Print Ribbon Cartridge

FARGO Direct-to-Card Printers require highly specialized supplies to function properly.
The FARGO DTC1250e, DTC1000Me, and DTC4250e Card Printers use a one piece, disposable ribbon
cartridge system.
To maximize printer durability, reliability and printed card quality, only FARGO-certified supplies must
be used. For this reason, your FARGO warranty is void, where not prohibited by law, if you use non-
FARGO-certified supplies.
Printer cleaning is recommended with each ribbon change to ensure quality printed cards.
Resin-only print ribbons consist of a continuous roll of a single resin color. No protective overlay panel
(O) is provided because resin images do not require the protection of an overlay.
2.3.1
