Installing the Ribbon Cartridge

Ensure there is a ribbon cartridge (sold separately — see "Inside Sales" in
Chapter 1 for ordering information and part number) in the printer before
you print and that the ribbon is fully seated (cartridge makes a distinct
"snap" or "click") with the visible portion of the ribbon straight and even.
1 Turn the ribbon advance knob (in the direction of the raised arrows) to
remove any slack in the ribbon.
2 Squeeze the ribbon cartridge locking tab into the cartridge, then lower
the cartridge over the print head.
3 Lower the tab side of the cartridge until it clicks.
4 Release the tab and press down on the arrow to fully seat the ribbon car-
tridge (tab clicks outward).
5 Turn the ribbon advance knob (follow raised arrows) to align the ribbon
in the front of the print head.
