To get at these, remove the printer cover from the printer. Then
remove the screws with a Phillips screwdriver
as shown in
Figure l-4.
You'll be smart to save these screws, along with the rest of
the packing material and the shipping carton, in case you ever
have to ship the printer. Tape the screws somewhere
on the car-
ton or packing.
Figure 1-4.
There are two shipping screws inside the printer, dur-
ing shipping. They should be removed before use.
n Installing the platen knob
This is the knob that turns the rubber platen cylinder. It fits
into the hole in the right side of the printer case. Look at the
hole in the knob. See the flat side of the hole? Match the flat sur-
face in the knob with the flat side of the shaft, and press the
knob onto the shaft firmly. Turn the knob a few times to make
sure that the platen rotates smoothly and easily.
n Installing the ribbon cartridge
This printer uses a neat, easy-to-change
ribbon cartridge
so
you don't have to spend a lot of time threading a ribbon. And get-
ting your hands all dirty to boot.
Telling you how to put in a ribbon is like explaining how to tie
your shoelaces - it takes a lot longer to tell than to do. You can
just follow the illustrations
if you wish; they'll tell you all you
really need to know.
Or, if you feel better following written instructions,
read on.
