Installing the ribbon cartridge
The ESP180 is shipped without the ribbon
cartridge installed.
To install the ribbon cartridge:
1. Remove the new ribbon cartridge from its
box.
2. Insert key in access door, turning clockwise ¼ turn.
Open door. Remove key from door.
3. Turn the knob on the ribbon cartridge clockwise to remove any ribbon slack.
4. Slide the cartridge’s exposed ribbon under the printhead.
5. Snap the ribbon cartridge into place taking care that the pins on the side of the cartridge are
pushed into their clips. If necessary, turn the knob on the ribbon cartridge clockwise while
snapping the ribbon cartridge into place. Be sure to press on the ribbon cartridge to snap it
behind the bottom two clips located approximately halfway down the ribbon cartridge. Remove
any slack in the ribbon.
6. The door should be closed by pressing on it until it snaps. Do not use the key.
7. After the power is connected, take a sample print to confirm that the ribbon is correctly
installed.
Printing
Once the ribbon is installed and the power connected, you’re ready to print. Insert a time card until
the card stops, then press the print bar. The clock has been preset to print the current month, date,
year, and time (12-hour format, AM/PM, minutes.) Any of these settings can easily be changed by
entering the Programming Mode and following the instructions found in Sections 2.13 - 3.5, pages
15-22 of the User Manual*. You will have the option of choosing from twelve preset printing options
or customizing the sequence in which order Date, Time, Number, and Comment will appear.
Customize the ESP180 to suit your individual needs.
Your ESP180 comes preset to Eastern Standard Time. You may
change the time by referring to the User Manual, Section 2.10, pages
13-14*. Daylight Savings Time is turned on. If you need to turn off
the feature, enter the Programming Mode (see 2.9, page 13) and
follow the steps through Section 3.6, pages 22-24*.
By default, the clock displays the hours in 12-hour format. You may
display the time in a 24-hour format. To do this, enter the Programming
Mode as above and follow the instructions in section 2.12, page 15*.
* Although page numbers are provided for specific programming functions, each is a part of a mechanical sequence
which must be followed in order. Please review the entire User Manual, from start to finish, at your convenience.
