Replacing The Ribbon - Epson LQ-850 User Manual

Replacing the Ribbon

When your printing becomes too faint you need to replace the
ribbon. Use the following Epson replacement ribbons:
Printer
LQ-850
LQ-950
LQ-1050
To replace the ribbon, turn off the power to the printer and remove
the printer cover.
If the printer has been used recently, the print head may
be hot. Let it cool before attempting to replace the
ribbon.
1. Remove the old ribbon by grasping the black fin-like handles
(only one on the LQ-850) and lifting the ribbon straight up and
out of the printer.
2. Slide the print head to the middle of the printer.
