Important
news: If you get this in upside down, they won't
work. So take another sharp look at Figure 1-6 before we pass
on to the final act-installing
the ink ribbon cartridge.
n Installing the ribbon cartridge
The ribbon cartridge greatly simplifies installing the ink ribbon.
For easy installation,
though,
it's wise to follow the sequence
and diagrams shown here.
1. Turn the power switch off, and remove the printer cover
(as explained earlier.)
2. Slide the print head gently with your fingers to the ap-
proximate center of its pathway.

3. Using the guide holders as a fulcrum with the ribbon facing
away from you, as shown in Figure 1-7, lightly press the
cartridge down until the two holder springs snap shut to
hold the cartridge firmly in place.
4. Now thread the ribbon carefully between the print head
and the ribbon guide next to the platen. (Take a good
look at Figure l-8.) You might want to use a ball point
pen to lightly press the ribbon guide against the platen
(rubber roller) while you insert the ribbon into the thin
space between the print head and ribbon guide.
Zmpovtant: Center the ribbon vertically
in the middle
Figure 1-7.
Lightly press the cartridge
down until the holder springs hold
it in place.
