How do I load/install the roller ribbon for the zebra stripe S4m printer?

Use the following link to replace your roller:

It is the same loading procedure for an S4M or ZM400. Here's a link:

Should be able to order this:

The ribbon has wax just on one side. So, if nothing prints on the label, first thing I'd check if the ribbon loaded with waxed side facing label.

The ribbon is loaded backwards. The ribbon can be loaded in two ways. In the industry, it is called coated side in or coated side out, meaning the ink side is either out or in. Zebra printers are all coated side out, or ink on the bottom side as it feeds off of the roller.

Are you using a ribbon? If so, then the ribbon is not loaded correctly passed the ribbon sensor. Or, the media is loaded in this position. Check the diagram on the inside of the door to make sure labels and ribbon are installed correctly. If you are not using ribbon, then you need to set the printer to direct thermal in the front panel and/or the software.

Alert Head Open will show everytime u open the Head , when u close back the head it will show Alert CLeared Head Open, then it's normal.

Ribbon Out Show means the printer doesn't detect a ribbon, make sure there's nothing wrong with ribbon installation. if everything fine, then the problem is you Ribbon Sensor. u can try to adjust the sensor with a screwdriver ( - ), make a little bit higher

You need to check to make sure media and ribbon (if used) are installed correctly. Follow the path on the inside of the door. The sensor is positioned in a place that the media and ribbon can be loaded in the same spot, causing it to not see one or the other.

Do what the other guys did and cut the labels and pull it with a set of plyers. Does not seem to be a better way
