Each Evolis ribbon is RFID tag embedded, which can tell you what kind of ribbon it is once it’s loaded, as well as how many prints are available, and when the ribbon is about to end. To load the ribbon, open the printer lid, drop in the ribbon, then close the lid. The packaging is then recyclable.
For a specific batch of Evolis ribbons (identified with a // symbol at the end of the reference on the packaging), please note that:
A manual selection of the ribbons' settings is required
Before using a new monochrome ribbon, it is necessary to roll up the ribbon slightly by hand so that the transparent/blue part of the film is no longer visible.
Insert the Evolis printer USB/CD key supplied with the printer. Go to the driver installation section in the Evolis USB/CD key. The driver installation program will guide you through the whole installation process. Wait until the printer driver has been fully installed before connecting the printer to the computer with the USB cable.
When you are finished, update your driver to the recent Evolis Software Update released by Evolis in March 2022 below.
