Installing The New Ribbon - Printek FormsPro 4300 Operation Manual

Operation
Remove the old ribbon by lifting the left hand end of the ribbon off of the left support
bracket. Then lift out the other end of the ribbon and set the ribbon aside. If the printer
power is on, "Ribbon Removed" will be displayed as the ribbon is lifted out.

Installing the New Ribbon

Unpack the new ribbon from its shipping container and remove the retainer from the slot on
top of the cartridge if present. Make sure the ribbon fabric is not twisted where it enters the
cartridge; then tighten the ribbon by turning the knob on top of the cartridge in the direction
indicated by the arrow on the cartridge.
Place the right hand end of the ribbon on the support bracket as shown below while you align
the plastic tabs with the slots in the bracket. Then align and lower the left end of the ribbon
onto the left support bracket until it snaps into place. When you do this, the ribbon fabric
should lower into the area between the print head and the pins which support the metal nose
shield. If the printer power is on, "Ribbon Installed" will be displayed as the ribbon is
installed.
