Install the ribbon cartridge
The top side of the ribbon cartridge has a handle for turning the ribbon.
Turn this handle in the direction of the arrow to tighten the ribbon.
Next place the ribbon cartridge on the print head assembly, guiding the
ribbon between the print head and the metal platen guard. Press down lightly
on the cartridge until it locks into place.
Caution: Don't touch the brass gear on the carriage.

Replace the top cover
Hold the cover upright and engage the tabs at the back. Then swing
the front edge down until the cover is closed.
Leave the cover closed during normal operation. It keeps out dust and
dirt and reduces the printer's operating sounds. Open the cover only to
change the ribbon or make an adjustment.
