REPLACING THE
RIBBON
User's Manual
There are two ways of replacing the ribbon. You can install a new ribbon
cartridge in the printer or refill the old ribbon cartridge with new ribbon
from a ribbon sub cassette. Appendix A lists order numbers for ribbon
cartridges and ribbon sub cassettes. The following procedure is for
ribbon cartridges. For ribbon sub cassettes, refer to the instructions
shipped with the sub cassette.
To replace the ribbon cartridge:
1. Turn off the printer.
Note:
If the power is turned off during or immediately after
printing, turn on the power again. Verify that the print
head has moved to the ribbon replacement position, and
then turn off the power again.
2. Open the front cover of the printer. For easy installation, slide
the print head carriage to a position for replacing the ribbon
cartridge (indicated by the triangle marking on the front of the
upper cover).
CAUTION <HOT>
The print head and metal frame is hot during printing
or immediately after printing. Do not touch them until
it cools down.
