Up to this point, we've been clearing the decks for action, so to speak. Only two
more things left to do before we can start printing - install the ribbon cartridge,

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 standard ribbon through the printer and getting
your hands all dirty to boot.
Telling you how to put in a ribbon is like telling you how to tie your shoelaces -
it takes a lot longer to describe it than it does to do it. So, 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.
