Installing the platen knob

The platen knob is packed into a recess in the
packaging material.
Install the knob on the shaft located inside the
large hole on the left side of the printer. Make
sure that the two splines of the platen shaft inside
the printer fit into the slots inside the knob's
spindle. Press the knob carefully but firmly into
place as far as it will go.

Installing the ribbon cassette

Make sure the printer is unplugged from its
power outlet.
Caution!
Never move the print head while the printer is turned
on. Doing so can damage the printer. If you have just
finished printing, let the print head cool for a few
minutes before you touch it.
Remove the front cover of the printer.
Remove the ribbon cassette from its package.
Rotate the knob on the ribbon cassette clockwise
to take up any slack in the ribbon.
By hand, move the cartridge holder to the left
side where there is a cut-out in the top guide to
allow easy installation and removal of the ribbon
cassette.
Carefully place the cassette onto the cartridge
holder making sure that the spindle of the holder
fits into the socket on the bottom of the cartridge.
Also make sure that the side tabs fit into the
grooves on the sides of the cartridge holder.
