Ribbon feed and ribbon lift service check
You are here because of an 089 RIBBON JAM message or any of the other symptoms in MAP 0160.
1. Open the top cover and remove the ribbon.
2. Advance the ribbon by turning the knob in the direction of the arrow. The ribbon should freely advance
without the ribbon folding over. Replace the ribbon cartridge if you locate a problem such as a ribbon that
binds or is folded over.
