Installing The Cartridge Ribbon.6 - Radio Shack TRS-80 Manual

Installing the Cartridge Ribbon
A cartridge ribbon (#26-3507) is used in this Printer. When printing
becomes faint or difficult to see, you should replace the cartridge.
Note: If the printer is used infrequently, the print impression sometimes
becomes weak because the ribbon dries out. If the printed material is
difficult to read and you suspect this is the cause of the problem, advance
to a properly inked portion of the ribbon by pressing the Paper Advance
Button.
To install the cartridge:
1. Turn POWER switch OFF.
2. Remove the paper from the printer (see "Installing the Paper").
3. Push down on the left side of print mechanism cover (marked "PUSH")
and remove cover (see figure 1).
4. Push down on the right side of ribbon cartridge (marked "PUSH")
and remove cartridge (see figure 2).

5. Install cartridge (see figure 3). Be sure the cartridge is inserted firmly
to prevent weak or irregular printing. The cartridge must be properly
seated and aligned for best printing.
6. Turn the cartridge "knob" (marked by an arrow) clockwise to stretch
the ribbon (see figure 4).
