2.Prepare the carbon strip: disassemble the carbon strip roll and the empty coil core and prepare the carbon strip.

4.Fixed carbon lead: Roll one end of the carbon strip onto the empty core in small amounts, and ensure that the carbon lead is fixed on the empty core so that it can be recovered smoothly during the printing process.

5.Insert empty coil: Insert the empty coil with carbon head into the carbon strip recovery end.
