When replacing the mixed base carbon strip, the following aspects need to be paid attention to to ensure the smooth replacement process and the stability of the print quality:


1. Choose the right carbon belt

Confirm model match: Ensure that the selected mixed base carbon strip is compatible with the printer model. Different types of printers have different requirements for the width, length and sensitivity characteristics of the carbon strip.

Consider the printing needs: according to the type of printing media (such as paper, synthetic materials, cloth, etc.) and printing requirements (such as durability, scratch resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, etc.) select the appropriate mixed base carbon strip.

2. Prepare tools and materials

Prepare the necessary tools, such as screwdrivers and wrenches, so that some parts of the printer may need to be removed during the replacement process.

Ensure that there is a clean surface for placing waste and new carbon strips to avoid contaminating the carbon strip with dust and impurities.

3. Install the new carbon belt correctly

Open the printer: Follow the steps in the printer instructions to open the cover or side door of the printer.

Remove the waste tape: Carefully remove the waste tape from the printer to avoid breakage or residue of the carbon tape.

Install the new carbon strip: Place the new mixed base carbon strip into the printer in the correct direction, ensuring that the starting end of the carbon strip is aligned with the printer's sensor. During the installation process, pay attention to avoid the cross winding of the carbon belt.

Turn off the printer: After installation is complete, quickly close the cover or side door of the printer and press the power button of the printer to start the automatic loading process of the carbon tape.

4. Check and adjust

Check installation: After the carbon tape is loaded, open the cover or side door of the printer and check that the carbon tape is properly installed. If the starting end of the carbon strip is not aligned with the sensor, it needs to be adjusted.

Adjust the printer Settings: Depending on the characteristics of the new carbon strip, it may be necessary to adjust the printer's temperature, pressure, and other Settings to obtain the best printing results.

5. Precautions

Avoid damage: Take care during operation to avoid damaging the printer or other components.

Keep it clean: Before and after installing the new carbon strip, ensure that the environment inside and around the printer is clean to avoid dust and impurities affecting the print quality.

Follow the instructions: Different models of printers may have different replacement steps and precautions, so be sure to follow the instructions in the printer instructions.


In short, replacing the mixed base carbon tape requires selecting the appropriate carbon tape, preparing the necessary tools and materials, correctly installing the new carbon tape, and checking and adjusting the printer Settings. At the same time, take care to avoid damaging the printer, keep it clean and follow the instructions.
