This method applies to most compatible media for the BMP61 printers. Reference these articles or the video if you are using raised panel or bulk media:
1. To open the printer cover, place your thumb under the finger tab and push up.
2. With labels coming off the top of the spool, grasp the smart cell handle and insert the labels straight into the smart cell reader compartment, gently pushing until it clicks into place.
3. If using anything but a 2-inch width media, slide the media guide to the left until it fits snugly up against the media roll and clicks into place.
4. Feed the leading edge of the media roll through the guide slots until it stops.
Note: Make sure the printhead is engaged by flipping the printhead lock lever forward (to the left) before inserting media into guides.
5. With the Power on, press Feed button once to feed media under printhead.
6. Close the cover by pushing down on it until it snaps into place.
Loading New Ribbon Cartridges into the BMP61
1. Flip the printhead lock lever backward (to the right) to disengage the printhead.
2. Grasp the ribbon and gently slide out of printer.
3. Before inserting new ribbon, remove any ribbon slack by rotating the take-up spool end clockwise.
4. Carefully slide the ribbon cartridge into the printer until it seats firmly against the metal frame.
5. Flip the printhead lock lever forward (to the left) to re-engage the printhead.
