1.8.1. Replacing the Ribbon Cassette
The print head may be very hot immediately after printing!
Caution:

Close the top cover and switch the printer ON. Lift the top cover after the display shows
the message READY 1 ELQ to gain access to the ribbon cassette mountings. The print
head will move to the correct position, aligned with the cut out in the paper guide plate
to facilitate the installation of the ribbon cassette.

Now swing the lower part of the ribbon to the back.

In this way the mounting pins loosen from the lower position.

Then press the upper part of the ribbon to the back. The upper mounting pins get free
and the ribbon can be taken out.
